Rock slope stability analysis using Slope Stability Rating (SSR) method

Abstract

Nupabomba village roads frequently undergo landslides, so that detain transportation access flow pattern as a result of rock slope stability problem, which has become the landslides trigger. Furthermore, to find out landslides prone area slope stability level, an analytical study using a scientific approach is required to reveal this question in the study area. The slope elevation in this area is 75 meters, with an average slope angle of 60, where its lithology consists of Schist, Greenschist, Filite, and Granite. Some of these rocks have different weathering levels (e.g., slightly - high weathering), and there are lots of discontinuity. Moreover, its geological strength index (GSI) value showed around 15-75 with the surface shape of blocky and disturbed. Besides, the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) value was obtained based on the compressive strength carried out in the field, and slope stability rating (SSR) values have gained the range of 9-81.
