ABSTRACT
The authors aimed at investigating slope stability of an embankment model composed of the municipal bottom ash, so carried out some laboratory tests, centrifuge model tests and finite difference method (FDM) analysis. For these tests and analysis, Toyoura standard sand were used to compare with the municipal bottom ash. As a result of this study, it could be cleared that the stability for sliding of municipal bottom ash is high. From utilization of municipal bottom ash points of view, it is sufficiently useful to utilize as embankment materials if only a chemical problem like the heavy metal will be solved.
