ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: The objective of this project is to develop the ability to derive input parameters for probabilistic slope stability from databases generated by satellites. Site characterizations through satellite data include obtaining reasonable estimates for these input parameters: soil density, internal friction angle, cohesion, pore pressures, and the slope angle. Satellite data is then used in conjunction with GIS to do a geotechnical site characterization. This system of site characterization can eliminate expensive on-site or laboratory Sampling and testing of the soil, and can also be used in conjunction with slope stability software to identify slopes at-risk of failure, with relative ease.
