| Abstract | The stability of the natural slope along the bank of
the Pasak river downstream of Phranaret lock was
investigated. Laboratory and field tests were carried out
to obtain parameters for stability analysis of this stiff
soil slope. Stability of the slope was analysed using the
simplified Bishop method for 6 assumed conditions of ground
water and water in the river. Results of the analysis show
that steady seepage and sudden drawdown conditions, which
occuring during the rainy season, were the critical factors
causing failure . The calculated factors of safety were 0. 94
and 0. 83 for the steady seepage and the sudden drawdown
conditions, respectively. |
