• Abstract:
  The use of a row of spaced drilled shafts to stabilize unstable slopes along the highways offers many advantages compared to other slope stabilization techniques. Some of these advantages may include: (1) various construction techniques are available for installing drilled shafts in almost any type of soil and rock conditions; (2) lateral load test can be performed to verify the lateral load-carrying capacity of the drilled shafts; (3) the use of drilled shafts avoids the need to address the right-of-way issues that may be needed for other types of slope stabilization methods; (4) the drilled shafts offer a reliable and economical solution compared to other slope stabilization methods; and (5) the drilled shafts are typically structurally capable of resisting long-term environmental effects.
