1 Intensive Course in Quantitative Landslide Risk Assessment and Risk management Mitigation measures: stabilization works E.E. Alonso Department of Geotechnical Engineering and Geosciences UPC, Barcelona September 3rd, Barcelona
2 A NOTE ON SAFETY FACTOR The discussion on safety factor is largely based on the existing knowledge of relevant strength parameters The better and more reliable the knowledge of shear strength parameters (and other relevant aspects: geometry; hydrologic regime), the lower can be the adopted SF SF= 1.5 (= τ rot /τ eq ) is a reference value for geotechnical projects for design conditions (limited knowledge of real conditions) Substantially lower SF s are acceptable in some occasions (magnitude of the landslide, probability of occurrence of extreme conditions and others
3 GLOBAL SAFETY FACTORS FOR SLIDE MITIGATION Case Safety factor, F Slides of relatively small volume whose failure is likely to produce: light damage 1.25 medium damage 1.35 high damage 1.5 Slides of relatively large volume whose failure is likely to produce: light damage 1.1 medium damage 1.15 high damage 1.2 An alternative to global safety factors is to work with partial safety factors. Typical values are: Fc = for cohesion (or undrained strength) Ftanφ = for friction (tanφ ) These values are similar to those proposed in table 2.1, hypothesis C, of the Eurocode 7.

5 1.CHANGES IN GEOMETRY
6 Two-block slide. Equilibrium for a purely frictional contact
7 Change in block weight ( w). Removed from upper part (w 1 ) or added to lower part (w 2 ) Best strategy: the fastest increase in R
8 Cortes landslide Location of the slide: Left margin of Júcar River. Valencia province Immediately upstream of Cortes dam: a 100 m high concrete arch dam The left margin of Júcar river according to the geological report of the dam project:
9 CORTES SLOPE AT THE BEGINNING OF DAM CONSTRUCTION
10 Plan of the site
11 Silos and auxiliary installations in upper part of landslide
12 QUARRY EXCAVATION. POSITION OF INCLINOMETERS
13 Measured deformations of inclinometer P-2-2 Displacements of top of inclinometer P-6-1 and measured rainfall intensities for individual storms in January 1998 Note: - Rigid body motion of upper 65 m - Insensitivity to relatively heavy rainfall
14 A representative profile of the slide along Profile P-6 Dip of marl layer of upper region: 25º m of cover in this area Intermediate zone: marl layer buried by cracked limestone (70 m thick). Uniform dip of marl layer: 16º- 17º Narrow lower zone. Horizontal marl layer
15 The marl: Low porosity (n= 0.25), low-plasticity clay (w l = 20%-28%; w p = 13%-14%) High consistency (w = 16%) Results of drained direct shear tests. Two complete strain reversal cycles to reach residual conditions CU triaxial tests performed on core specimens (σ 3 = 0.2; 0.45; 0.7 MPa) c = 0; φ = 20º-21º
16 BACK ANALYSIS The slide was assumed to be a reactivated slide (induced by quarry excavations) Therefore the outcome of the analysis should be the residual friction angle No indications of water table in the cracked limestone layer The marl layer was saturated Limit equilibrium analysis: Carter s method: equivalent to simplified Bishop If phreatic surface on top of marl layer: φ = 17.7º If zero water pressure in marl layer: φ = 16º These values were accepted as more reliable than the values derived from tests (despite the coincidence of direct and triaxial shear tests).
17 Influence line resulting from 10 MN load travelling Profile P-6 A convenient stabilizing method is to displace weight from the upper section to the lower one m3 initially planned
18 Profile P-6 after stabilization Safety factors achieved: 1.3 (average of the analysis of seven cross-sections) 1.19 for rapid drawdown conditions assuming a rapid reduction of water level from elevation 326m to elevation 320m Considered low by dam owners!
19 Additional stability procedures analyzed Drainage of marl layer: Slight effect and uncertainties Anchoring: Very expensive due to the extremely long anchor length Additional weigth transfer Final total excavated volume: m 3 RESULTS

44 Les Costes, Andorra The failure mechanism
45 Les Costes, Andorra Stabilization works. Anchored micropile wall. SF = 1.35 (long term)
46 Flow of soil under the footing of intermediate wall
47 Case study: Multiple wall failure in Les Costes, Andorra CONCLUSIONS The lower wall was probably the first to fail Failure of the lower wall can be a attributed to a general slope failure The intermediate micropile foundation was not enough to limit the earth pressures against the lower wall The triggering mechanism was probably some excess pore pressures, induced by rain, associated with the wall barrier effect

86 Final remarks 1. There are no single rules to select the appropriate stabilization method. The following aspects should be considered: Type of slide Importance of facilities affected Volume of the slide and intensity of stabilization forces Time available to design and implement the comforting action Cost
87 Final remarks 2. Stabilizing slopes remains an art with strong empirical basis In rotational slides, unloading the upper part is probably the most effective method. Check instability upwards In purely translational slides changes in geometry are not effective. Deep or surface drainage is effective and suitable in almost any case. It requires acceptable soil permeability and the possibility of gravity drainage. Passive piles are an attractive solution in surface to medium depth slides when bending moments induced on piles are moderate. They are also useful in slides controlled by thin plastic layers difficult to locate and drain. Anchored solutions provides large active retaining forces. Tend to be expensive. Limited information on its long term behavior
88 Final remarks 3. Very often mixed procedures are designed for a given landslide. They may benefit from a complementary action among them. Thank you for your attention!
