| Abstract | Slope stability analysis was undertaken on alternate sandstone, claystone/ siltstone beds, of Dhok Pathan Formation, exposed at Pir Pehai area. Studies were carried out to determine the geotechnical behaviour of the sequence with respect to excavation of cut slopes in the area. Investigation involved the evaluation of slope stability parameters using wedge method of analysis. Bedding shears were encountered in the claystone/siltstone beds, which are considered the potential failure surfaces. Based upon the studies various angles are proposed for stable cut slopes in these rocks. |
