🔹 Week 6: Slope Stability and Earth Retaining Systems

  • Objectives:

    • Assess slope stability for cut/fill slopes.

    • Analyze retaining wall design principles.

  • Topics Covered:

    • Types of slope failures and causes.

    • Limit equilibrium methods (Fellenius, Bishop, Janbu).

    • Soil nailing, geogrids, and reinforcement techniques.

    • Earth pressure theories (Rankine, Coulomb).

    • Retaining wall types: gravity, cantilever, anchored.
