Slope stabilisation using piles


Dear All, I am analysing a slope cut by using SLOPE/W software. The FOS evaluated by Bishop's method comes out to be 1.121. I have to impose bored piles on slopes to improve the FOS to allowable (=1.25) and I imposed the pile in my model as dowels. The FOS improves to 1.345. The dowels are specified by the spacing, shear force parallel to slip surface, safety factor to get the desired shear force. Is this idea correct, I am little bit doubtful, if anyone can please check my slope/w files, Reply at
