Abstract

These papers provided as my BS thesis, are going to study and review the "Slope Stability Assessment Methods and Applying those Methods to an Existing Case" (About 100 pages). It has been tried in this thesis, to consider the practical aspects of project as far as possibility, in order to be a reliable source for further studies (It has been done under the supervision of Dr. M. Mosavi and Eng. F. Rafia.). 

This essay includes four chapters:

1 – The main goal of the first chapter is reviewing rock classifications. In this chapter, it has been tried to mention the common classifications and discuss their developmental progress. 

2 – The role of slopes in assigning the rock classifications is discussed in the second chapter. I have considered the slope classifications, while mentioning the advantages and disadvantages of each of them.  

3 – In the third chapter, the Slope Mass Rating (SMR) has been discussed in detail and some feasible methods have been proposed to support measurements. 

4 – In the last or fourth chapter, I applied the slope stability methods especially SMR to a report by KCE (Kavoshgaran Consulting Engineers). In this research, based on both analytic studies and slope classifications, supporting methods were suggested. At last, by comparing different classifications the best and the most practical classification for slopes has been proposed (Both using computer software and analytic studies were concerned for applying classifications to a real case study).
