Numerical Study on Stability of Slope Using Geo-Technical Software

Abstract: Studying the stability of slopes is crucial in geotechnical Engineering to predict the failure of slope. The software such as plaxis, GeoStudio, Abaqus and Geo5 are used for numerical analysis. The “Abaqus” software is used for numerical analysis on stability of slope. Slope stability is considered as one of the most important sectors which should be addressed properly in Geotechnical engineering. This project investigates and discusses the stability of unreinforced soil mass with different density and different slope angles. It presents the results at 30°, 35°, & 45° and evaluates factor of safety and crest settlement over unreinforced soil slopes subjected to static loading over. Keywords: Abaqus, soil density, crest settlement, slope inclination, factor of safety.
