Guan Khim Chew

Paper Summary

A software called Oasys Slope version 18.1 was used to analyze the stability of a fill slope on a highway in Sabah. The existing slope was close to failing, with a factor of safety close to 1. However, after extending the toe of the fill slope, the factor of safety increased, making the slope more stable.
