Open Cut - Slope Stability
Open Cut - Slope Stability
(OP)
Are there recommended rules of thumb for slopes (1:1, 1.5:1, 2:1, H:V) for different soil types? I have come across an OSHA document that addresses this, but wanted to know if there were others. Are there mathematical ways to calculate it, and if so, what parameters would be needed?
What is the normal practice for benching an open cut? I have seen documents mentioning 1.2m vertical before a bench is required. Are there any good documents that address generic requirements?

I'd be curious if there were any 'rules of thumb' for different soils.
