Bottom of Fill Slope_Key/Anchor Detail Needed
Bottom of Fill Slope_Key/Anchor Detail Needed
(OP)
I am about to begin grading a fill project (Building pad high: 2:1 slopes to daylight, below). The overall height of fill (over 60')will require a 6' wide bench, mid-height, per UBC. However, I will need some type of key at the bottom of slope (no walls will be considered by my client).
Any ideas, advice, or what-out-for-thats?
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for responding. Yes, a (final) geotech evaluation will be ordered in the mid-to-later stages of the design. Currenly, I am at a SD/DD-level for reasons of pursuing a use-permit: I am not at CD. So, I only need to show conceptual-level details.
Answers to your questions: Good fill quality/engineering soils are to be placed on a 3:1 (max) existing slopes that are not in 'slide' zone. Basically, good conditions without any tricky BS.
I am looking for general/loose dimensions of the key to communicate to the planners; later on, the geotech will specify, endorse, etc. etc. etc.
Again, thanks for responding.
Mike

Waiting to the mid to late stages of design to get a professional geotechnical engineer involved is asking for a lot of problems, redesign, and added cost.

recommend you post this in the following forum:
Geotechnical Engineers
Slope stability engineering
you should be prepared to provide additional data on the geology, soils, loadings, etc.
