ENGR 401/402 Senior Project (4 cr)

Project Title:
Use of Physical Modeling for Understanding Slope Stability and Progress of Failure
Project Abstract
The study is focused on the development of a framework for physical modeling and testing of constructed slopes. The project will utilize physical modeling concepts for understanding of failure mechanisms involved in stability of the constructed slopes.

The physical models will be designed based on initial numerical model simulations of slope geometries, materials and external conditions using FLAC-slope software. The failure mechanisms will be identified, instrumentation and measurements will be conducted for verification purposes.

The impact of select remedial methods such as slope reinforcement will also be considered and studied by means of constructed physical models.
