Application of slope mass rating system in slope stability class evaluation

Abstract

The rock slope stability analysis is a challenging task in geotechnical engineering. The metasedimentary cut slope at Putrajaya-Cyberjaya Link was assessed using Slope Mass Rating (SMR) system in this study. The results of SMR calculation obtained in this study is 23.3. The results shows that, the slope stability class obtained is IV and the cut slope of the study area is in bad condition. The stability is known to be unstable and the probability of failure is 0.6 or 60%.
