Stability Analysis of a Syncline Bedded Rock Slope near a Gas Station

A syncline bedded rock slope is near a gas station on the northwest side of Fengwu Community, which is on the InnerCity Loop Road, Dazhou City. This paper presents the stability evaluation of the rock slope. The results indicated that, the bedding plane and the fissured surface are unstable structural surfaces. The stability of the excavated slope will be a concern due to the potential slip within the structured weak suface, especially, under the heavy rains. The paper also provides slope stability mitigation measures.
