Title:
Probabilistic Slope Stability Analysis of
Landslide at Abbottabad Pakistan

Abstract:
A permanent landslide due to seasonal stream
and rainfall behind Abbottabad Medical Complex has
affected residential structures. In this study original
and modified slope geometry are selected for stability
analysis using the geotechnical parameters evaluated
from field and lab tests. Stability analysis are
conducted in limit equilibrium program in coupled with
saturated-unsaturated seepage analysis in finite element
program. The analysis results show that the probability
of failure is reduced for modified slope but may not be
acceptable. The study further motivates to find
additional parameters to design a safe slope for the
target area by performing parametrical and sensitivity
analysis study.
