Simulation analysis of slope stability : a case study on slope failure at new laboratory of Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, UTM

The soil movement on a failed slope had caused substantial failure of sheet pile wall positioned at about 6m from the new laboratory of Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). To facilitate investigating causes of the failure, a computer simulation of slope stability...
