Stability analysis of a high excavated slope

This work aimed to study on stability-assessment way of a high excavated-slope. A stable slope was the key to insure the security of building site adjacent to the high slope, which frequently encountered in town construction at mountain areas by terrain limit. Some crucial problems were summarized for stability assessment of an excavated high slope based on several typical engineering cases in Chongqing. A synthetical-analysis way was explored to assess stability of high slope from its natural geological conditions and its man-destroyed degree, engineering environment, potential failure pattern of a high slope, calculation parameters and analysis methods. As a result, it is indicated that the conclusion of stability assessment can be determined according to the aspects above-mentioned, and the stability assessment is one of the fundamental data to insure the safety of the related construction, site and buildings.
