Abstract
The stability of a soil slope, reinforced by a concrete pile, is studied both experimentally and numerically in this work. Our study suggests that when the concrete pile is located in the middle of the slope (at x/r = 0.5), the soil structure collapses under a pressure of 10.9 kPa that is the highest overburden pressure to cause instability of the tested reinforced sandy slope. However, when the pile is located in the upslope (at x/r = 0.75) or...
