Outline
• Brief review of stability terms • Goal of the guidebook • Discussion of selected options
included in the guidebook • Summary
![Page 4: Innovative Slide Repair Techniques - Marshall University€¦ · Innovative Slide Repair Techniques Michael Lambert, P.E. Shannon & Wilson, Inc August 6, 2014 . Credit & Disclaimer](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042311/5ed9040c6714ca7f4768fd75/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Review of Soil Slope Instability
• Different Shapes – Falls, topples, flows, spreads,
slides, and combinations • Shallow or Deep Seated
– Shallow < 10 feet deep – Deep > 10 feet
• Circular or Wedge (non-circular) Shaped

Cause of Slides
• Slides occur when driving forces are greater than resisting forces.
• Driving or resisting forces change when: – Geometry changes (cut at toe or fill
on top) – Water level increases – Weight added to top of slope
• Loss of vegetation

lower portion of the slide. • Deep or Shallow Slides • Can be completed w/o design • Quick to start, no specialized
equipment, low quality material can be used
• Large quantity of material required, toe access required, additional right-of-way may be required

Pin Pile and Micropile Repair • Increases resistance to sliding • Shallow Slides, ~5 ft. for plastic and
unreinforced grout piles and ~10 ft. for steel and reinforced grout piles
• Can be completed w/o design, design is recommended
• Limited slope disturbance and required material, no excavation
• Specialized equipment, relatively expensive material, material may be hard to locate quickly, if slide depth is underestimated, no improvement

Tire Bale & Shredded Tire Repair • Reduces forces driving the slide,
tire bales may also increase drainage and strength
• Deep or Shallow Slides • Can be completed w/o design • No specialized equipment • Material may be hard to locate
quickly, unfamiliar material, small chance of internal combustion with shredded tires

Horizontal Drain Repair • Decreases water (weight) & increases
effective strength. • Deep or Shallow slides • Can be completed w/o design • Less slope disturbance, less required
material, deeper installations possible than aggregate drains
• If water not a significant factor in failure minimal improvement, specialized equipment and material, clogging, possible drain damage

• Increases strength and possibly weight in lower portion of slide
• Deep or Shallow Slides • Site specific design required • High degree of success, materials
generally available • Design required, significant
excavation, excavation in slots required that may lead to additional movement

Research Objective Soil slides often require immediate action to keep traffic moving safely. This study will focus on developing newer (innovative) approaches to evaluate slope failures and provide cost-effective repair and mitigation techniques. Typically slides are repaired by excavating the slide material and then backfilling with more stable material. However, MoDOT is looking for the researcher to review newer more innovative techniques that have been deployed nationally by other State Departments of Transportation, Geotechnical journals, Geotechnical contractors and any organization that is responsible for the repair of landslides. The goal is to find repairs that provide for long-term stabilization, but that are more cost effective than the typical excavation method. The research is to develop a listing and description of these innovative slope repair techniques. The study shall provide MoDOT with descriptions of when these innovative techniques could be deployed and what are the resources, materials, equipment and personnel needs required to accomplish such repairs.

Literature Review
Goals • Identify repair techniques
