A comparative study of slope stability analysis via Geo5 using IoT framework

Abstract

In mountainous regions, landslides pose significant and frequent threats, causing extensive damage due to their destructive nature and frequency, therefore determining their likely occurrence sites and environmental factors is essential for hazard assessment. The infinite slope approach characterizes slope stability using a factor of safety (FOS) to assess the likelihood of slope failure and is frequently used to estimate the occurrence of shallow landslides on soil and regolith-covered slopes. Various methods have been used to evaluate and spread uncertainty across such models. Slope failure is a significant geological occurrence brought on by topography and weather, which result in a variety of ground movements. Engineers must plan and implement measures to mitigate hazards, safeguarding both lives and property from potential risks and dangers by using an adequate stabilizing solution. Technology and software advancements have made it simpler than ever to handle challenging issues that used to require a lot of time in every profession. Over the past decade, software utilization in civil engineering has surged. GEO 5 is a versatile program gaining prominence, aiding in the resolution of diverse geotechnical challenges. Through the installation of IoT cameras in various sand and clay areas along the bank of the Mahandi River in Odisha, we have gathered the data necessary to develop the region in this case. a select selection of which we have chosen for our research. In this study, slope stability-related modules have been carefully examined and used for the analysis of slope stability. Using the GEO5 program, the geometry of the issues was established, and the study took into account several stability optimization techniques. Additionally, the cost factor of various reinforcing techniques was calculated and contrasted.
