Slope Stability - Crane Pad
Slope Stability - Crane Pad
(OP)
I have an application where a crane pad is recommended on a site that has an embankment fill overlooking a tidal bay. The embankment is about 10 feet in height. For a slope stability evaluation, is anyone aware of documentation that supports a recommended minimum factor of safety against slope failure. Thank you.

Also, for a crane pad, small movements can be a big problem.
