Abstract: Slope stabilizing pile is one of the most effective ways to reinforce a slope with soil arching effect, in which the interslice forces transmitted to the soil slice behind the piles is reduced. Limit equilibrium based slope stability analysis technique is used in this paper to ascertain factor of safety of slope as well as to quantify forces within the piles. Load transfer factor has been used to estimate net force imparted on the piles with respect to influencing factors such as spacing and pile properties, slope geometry, soil-strength parameters and pile location on the slope. The present study includes analysis of slope with and without piles to verify the results based on this approach to those proposed by other researchers.
Keywords: Slope stability, piles, load transfer factor, parametric study.
