Abstract:
Slope stability accidents are widely spread in geotechnical calculation field.The purpose of this paper is to present an artificial slope stability case study,constructed in Porto Romano area (near Durres city, Albania). This embankment was foreseen to be building in a conic trunk shape, with diameter in base 43 m, height 10 m and inclination ratio 1:3, which was also used as a load during the consolidation process within the Preloading Mitigation Seismic Risk study of this area.The way of embankment's construction was suggested by the team of engineers, which performed the slope stability calculations during the design phase.Our study aims to deal with the recalculation of safety factor using Probability Based Design and Eurocode 7 Design Approaches after it failed at 6.45 m of height.After the recalculation we could estimate the causes that led to the failure.
