Stability Assessment of Pinousuk Gravel Slopes from Mesilou, Kundasang, Sabah

Abstract The matrix of four slopes of Pinousuk Gravel from Mesilou, Kundasang, Sabah namely S1, S2, S3 and S4 were collected for physical and engineering analysis. The slope stability analysis is conducted by using Fellenius slicing method. Pinousuk gravels which originated from the glacial deposits of Mount Kinabalu during Pleistocene age consist of mixture of various sizes and types of rocks such as ultrabasic rocks and granodiorite. Engineering properties of slope’s matrixes show high to very high plasticity with the appearance of smectite and illite as clay minerals. Based on direct shear... Mehr ...
