| Summary: | The soil mass movement on failed slope had substantially deformed a sheet
pile wall positioned at 6m froqn the new laboratory of Faculty of Mechanical
Engineering (FKM Lab), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Skudai, Johor. To faciliate
investigating the causes of the wall deformation, I computer modeling of slope
stability is applied to simulate slope conditions before and after constnrction of the
study area. The results of simulation analysis establish the fact that global soil mass
movement started from the elevation of the newly filled water tank to downhill
direction towards ttre installed sheet pile. Consequently, the mass movement generates
a combination of mobilized shear force and lateral pressure larger than strength
capacity of the sheet pile. In additior\ the finite element analysis shows that the sheet
pile might successfully interceptthe slipplane of failure slopebut the wall moves
significantly forward because of inadequate passive resistance and required minimum
penetration depth in order to achieve stability |
