| The design of a stable slope in a rock mass environment is a quite complicated job due to the anisotropic behaviour of the rock mass. In this research work, the cut slopes at the Swat motorway in the weakest schist rock is numerically analyzed by the shear strength reduction (SSR) approach using the Finite Element-based 2D RS2 software. The slope is divided into two cases according to the nature of the rock. Each case of the cut slope is analyzed by two stabilization methods: 1) changing the characteristics of the slope 2) support system installation based on the Mohr-Coulomb (MCC) and Generalized Hoek and Brown (GHB) failure criteria in order to propose the most appropriate method for slope stabilization. The results obtained reveal that the Critical Strength Reduction Factor (CSRF) before applying the stabilization methods is 1.34 (MCC) and 1.04 (GHB) for Case-I and 1.21 (MCC) and 0.53 (GHB) for Case-II. CSRF for Case-I after changing the characteristics of the slope is observed to be 2.43 (MCC) and 2.33 (GHB), while for Case-II is 1.82 (MCC) and 1.26 (GHB), respectively. CSRF for Case-I after the support installation criteria is 1.59 (MCC) and 1.07 (GHB), while for Case-II is 1.65 (MCC) and 0.5 (GHB), respectively. Based on the comparative analysis, it is revealed that changing the characteristics of the slope method shows prominent results in both cases; therefore, this method can be effectively used in order to stabilize the slope in the weakest rock mass environment. | ||
