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