ABSTRACT
In the present study stability of slopes prepared using residual soil, compacted in dry state and was examined in different water content condition using a small beam centrifuge. Slopes were prepared in a small strong perspex box by tamping. A perforated water tank was placed behind the slopes to permit seepage of water through the soil mass. Provision was made to collect the water above the base plate. The slope angle was varied from 60 to 75° and the slope was examined in different water content conditions. Digital images were captured at fixed intervals and analysed. The result from the parametric studies shows the quantitative data points of Stability number at different gravity scale. It was observed that the relationships obtained in this study, are comparable to the Taylor’s Stability number.
