Kinematic Analysis of Selected Rock Slopes along Choa Saidan Shah-Kallar Kahar Road Section

Yasir Majeed, Muhammad Zubair Abu Bakar

Abstract


The present study deals with the kinematic analysis of joint orientation data gathered from three selected slope sites situated along the Choa Saiden Shah-Kallar Kahar road section by using Dips (5.1) software suite for Microsoft Windows. The stability analyses indicate that slope faces 1, 2 and 3 are not critical to instability for planar and wedge failure modes; however they carry toppling failure risk of 68%, 50% and 81% respectively. Further it is recommended that the selected slope sites may be stabilized by using rock anchors/bolts, proper drainage of water and the erection of rock catch fences etc.
