Causes of Lanslide
Causes of Lanslide
(OP)
We have a pipeline project on a 60 degree slope mountain. We hired a specialist to evaluate the factor of safety which they provided equal to 2.31. Based on my site inspection the soil is dominantly composed of loose gravel. Thickness of soil is 3-6m from boreholes. Bedrock consiting of DIORITE. Climate is tropical. traces of landslide were visible near the area is near the river.
QUESTION:
1. Based on experience is the contractor correct?
2. What causes landslide?
3. Circular and Planar failure was used for evaluation?
4. References?
thanks

it is better foundation with collar and (no excavation) and micropile or similar for staibility. the value of 2.31 was performed from geotecnical data?
RE: Causes of Lanslide
Also, is that 60 degree a measurement or someone's guess? Slopes may seem steeper than the measurement says.
Slides in the area would tell me that 2.31 is wrong.
