Landslide Mitigation Using Granular Shear Keys: Observations from a Review of 38 Case Studies
DownloadFall 2017
Canadian transportation industries have been using granular shear keys to remediate shallow slope instabilities for decades. Engineers have used limit equilibrium (LE) analyses as the standard method for designing these granular shear keys (Wyllie & Mah, 2004). These LE analyses do not account...
