GEOTECH3 Plate
GEOTECH3 Plate
The reason of the project proposed is to ensure the safety of the residents of the area
covered and to provide an economic yet strong retaining structure to the sloping ground over
the desired location. By implementing the design to the location, the possibility of landslide over
the area will be lowered in case of natural disasters.
Location
The location of the project proposed is in Lamut Road, Ambiong, La Trinidad, Benguet.
Description of Location
Lamut Road, Ambiong, Latrinidad, Benguet is a residential area which has a small
population and has small buildings and structures. The location is prone to landslide because it
has many steep sloping grounds which may fall during strong typhoons.
Dimensions
We have measured the height of the sloping ground for three different location with one
meter apart and we acquired the average approximate height as 4.8 meters, 8 meters long
and the angle at the top of the slope is 10 degrees approximately.
This is the front view of the slope area This is the side view of the slope
which we determined the lateral
slope which is 80 degrees from
the ground

From the references that we acquired, we assume the average values for the soil
parameters of a clayey gravel soil. Angle of Internal Friction = 25 degrees, unit weight =
