Detailed investigation of Taprang landslide was carried out in order to understand the surface, subsurface lithological information and physical properties of soil by using multi-disciplinary methods such as engineering geological, geophysical and geotechnical studies for the determination of factor of safety for slope stability analysis.  Geological study was carried out by detail mapping of surface geology, soil condition, properties of bedrock and its discontinuities. The geophysical survey (Electrical Resistivity Tomography-ERT) were carried out to know the electrical resistivity of soil for identifying the groundwater table and hence slip surface of the landslide. Geotechnical analysis such as grain size analysis, liquid limit and direct shear test were carried out in order to evaluate soil classification, moisture content, cohesion and the angle of internal friction of soil for knowing the strength the soil. These soil parameters indicate the soil is very low strength. The combination of these results were used for calculating the factor of safety (FoS) by Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM) proposed by Bishop and Janbu methods. The result of factor of safety in the Taprang landslide demonstrates that the slope become stable in drained (dry) condition, remain ultimate stage in undrained (wet) condition and finally failure occurs if applied the seismic load in both drained and undrained conditions.

Extensions are suggested to the generalized method of slices that is commonly used in slope stability analysis. It is shown that restrictions exist on the assumptions used to make the problem statically determinate. In addition, a numerical procedure has been developed to find the bounds to the factor of safety, subject to additional requirements of physical admissibility. As a result of these developments it has been possible to produce a revised computer program that appears to overcome the problems of convergence experienced by other programs in current use. Results obtained with this new analysis confirm the reliability of several methods of analysis used in practice.

Abstract Slope stability analysis with SOFTWARE ROCSCIENCE SLIDE case studies in residential barracks of PT. Freport with various variations in loading and conditions show results The greater the load on the slope, the lower the Factor of Safety value. FS values for all methods, sections, and ramp widths are greater in dry than wet conditions. The greater the load distance from the slope, the greater the FS value. At a distance of 3m from the crest slope the decrease in FS value is very significant, in sections 1 and 2 there is still a secure FS value with a load of 50 kN / m, the smaller the overall slope angle (slope) the greater the FS value.Keywords: Slope stability, safety factor, maximum load

This paper presents a new method for locating critical slip surfaces of general shapes in slope stability analysis. On the basis of the principle of optimality, along with the method of slices, a critical slip field (CSF) in a slope is postulated which consists of a family of slip surfaces having maximum values of unbalanced thrust forces at exit points on the slope face. A numerical procedure is developed for constructing the CSF. The critical slip surface having minimum factor of safety is included in the CSF. All the critical slip surfaces corresponding to all of the exit points are thus determined consecutively, resulting in a global critical slip field (GCSF) which exhibits both global and local slope stability. Comparisons with other methods are made which indicate the high efficiency and accuracy of the proposed approach. Applications of the proposed method to two case examples are given, the results of which demonstrate its applicability to practical engineering.Key words: slope, stability, analysis, factor of safety, critical slip field.

The slope stability analysis is always under severe threats in many parts of nilgiris district, causing disruption, loss of human life and economy. The stability of slopes depends on the soil shear strength parameters such as Cohesion, Angle of internal friction, Unit weight of soil and Slope geometry. The stability of a slope is measured by its factor of safety using geometric and shear strength parameter based on infinite slopes. In this research, investigation was carried out at 5 locations in Kattery watershed in nilgiris district. The factor of safety of the slope determined by Mohr Coulomb theory based on shear strength parameter calculated from direct shear test which is a conventional procedure for this study. Artificial. Neural Network (ANN) Model is used to predict the factor of safety. The input parameters for the (ANN) are chosen as Cohesion, Angle of internal friction, Density and Slope angle and the factor of safety as output. The results obtained in ANN method were compared with that of conventional method and observed a good agreement between these two methods.
