Design of a Reinforced Soil Wall with Gabion Facing for a Slope
Failure Site at Kumarapuram
74
• A case study of the design of stabilization of a failed
slope by installing soil nails and constructing a
Reinforced Soil Wall with Gabion Facing.
• A 17 m high slope failure was triggered by the collapse
of an RCC Cantilever Retaining wall which occurred due
to a deep excavation made near to it in the adjacent
land.
• The existing house on the top of the slope was severely
damaged due to this failure.
• The design of slope stabilization was entrusted to the
Department of Civil Engineering, LBSITW.

Profile of failed Slope
• The failure surface was linear and vertical near the top
and parabolic towards the bottom.
• The collapsed loose soil was lying over the failure
surface at an angle of repose.
• The boundary of the land passed almost midway through
the failure surface
• Stability analysis carried out with the finite element
software PLAXIS 2D indicated that excavation for the
construction of Retaining Wall would trigger another
slope failure.
