    20% GROUP REPORT (WP1, WP4 WP6, WK3, WK7 & WK8)
    Topic SLOPE REMEDIALTECHNIQUE (SLOPE STABILITY)

    Name: ……….…………………….……………….. Lecturer: ..............................

    Section: …………………..………….…..………...…. Date: ….………..…………...

    Objective

    The purpose of this Open-Ended Report is to categorize suitable technique for slope remedial work in
    geotechnical aspect

    Problem statement:

    Slope failure which occurred on 6 December 2008 at Bukit Antarabangsa, Ampang Selangor has
    caused mortalities and loss of properties whereas more than 20 houses were flattened. Prior to slope
    failure, it was heavily downpoured for a few hours that increased the soil saturation and plasticity
    properties. A total of 10 soil samples were randomly taken from stable and unstable slopes to
    determine physical soil properties, infiltration rate and their relationship to rainfall pattern. Soils were
    analyzed in terms of their physical properties; five years (2005-2009) of daily rainfalls were analyzed
    to determine their relationship to infiltration rate at each sampling station. Infiltration rate is
    determined by using infiltrometer double ring. Analysis of physical soils properties shows that soil
    texture was dominated by sandy soil with relatively high percentage of sand. Values of clay dispersion
    coefficient were relatively stable to very stable from 0.013% to 11.85% and organic content from 1.38
    % to 2.74 %. Range of porosity was from 50.12% to 62.31%, while the average levels of hydraulic
    conductivity was from level 2 to 5 or relatively slow to fast. Percentage of soil aggregate stability was
    from 5.12 % to 48.42 % and this value indicates that relative strength of soil mechanical pressure is
    inversely proportional to the percentage of water content. Soil plasticity value was high to very high
    but characterized by inactive colloids. Distribution of monthly rainfall was from 38 mm to 427mm.
    The infiltration rate during sampling time was from 3.0 cm/hr to 7.0 cm/hr; but it was expected from
    10.94cm/hr to 915.05 cm/hr during slope failures. Overall, it was interpreted that physical soil
    properties were closely interrelated with slope stability, structure of sandy soil will enhance soil
    porosity stage and enhance the infiltration process during heavy rainfall, and finally triggering of slope
    failure.
