In-Depth Information
the reinforced slope during the earthquake clearly shows that the slip surface
takes place along a thin layer of clayey material, which caused the slope failure in
1995. The reinforced slope with a low ratio of reinforcement length to height of
the slope may be critical to the stability of the slope. In addition, the recompacted
backfill on the up slope of the reinforced slope may also decrease the overall
stability of the slope.
