Abstract |
: |
The government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has linked all
parts of the kingdom with modem roads and highways network. These
roads cross many areas of various topography of high relief. The most
difficult of which are those descents in the western part of the country
which fonn an obstacle along the route of roads connecting the Red Sea
coastal plain to the top of the high-rising mountains, and from there to the
eastern part of the country. These descent roads play a vital role in
connecting the various parts of the Kingdom in addition to ease goods
transportation and security. A great deal of attention has been given by
the government to solve such problems, by constructing the escarpment
roads, where road cuts and bridges across the valleys have been made, in
addition to driving of tunnels through the high mountains in these
descents.
As one of many descent roads, Al-Baha escarpment road on AlBaha
descent was one of the important roads to be constructed across
such difficult terrain, due to its importance, as it connects the Tihama
coastal area with the southern parts of the most beautiful tourist areas in
the country. The AI-Baha escarpment road is about 50 km to AlMukhwah
city; along this distance there are a large number of critically
man-made cut slopes in addition to the natural slope. Many of these
slopes are dangerous and unsafe due to the rock fall, rockslides .and
different modes of slope failures, especially in rainy days. Therefore, the
study and stability analysis of these slopes become of great importance to
the safety of the roads which are of frequent use.
Rock slopes bearing structures, such as escarpment roads,
foundations of mountain bridges, dams and open pit mines should be
regularly investigated in tenns of the I stability of these slopes against
sliding or other failures. All of these structures involve rock cuts in one
way or another. Rocks occur in nature as separated masses by different
types of fractures in different attitudes.
The rocks on the slopes are nonnally in a stable condition as long
as they are not exposed to an aggravated state by disturbing the stability
condition inside the rock mass, as a result of rock excavation during
iiY
building a road. Such aggravating conditions may cause graduall or
sudden slope failure with a likelihood of destroying the infrastructure. In
addition to loss oflives. |
