| Abstract | This paper presents a comparative study used for the analysis of the stability of slopes of the Amiya area, near Kathgodam Nainital, Uttaranchal, based on assumptions that the rock mass follows the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion. An extensive field study has been carried out. Laboratory experiments have been conducted to calculate the various mechanical properties of the rock mass. These properties have been used as input parameters for the numerical simulation. The computed finite element deformations and the stress distribution, along the failure surface, have been compared with the field measurements and are found to be in good agreement. The study shows that the slope is perilously unstable. |
