Our Unit is Busy with Our Regular Duties

Page 9: Design Matrix For Emergency Landslides · Instructions for Sizing Piles In the Field by ExperiencedWall Designers • HP10x42 = 12 feet wall height • HP 12x53 = 14 feet wall height

We Design Repairs for Major Landslide/Rockfalls for all 10 Districts

We Write GeotechnicalReports for the WVDOH In‐House Design Section

We Review Consultants’Geotechnical Reports and Foundation Designs

Some of Our Regular Duties Include:

Page 10: Design Matrix For Emergency Landslides · Instructions for Sizing Piles In the Field by ExperiencedWall Designers • HP10x42 = 12 feet wall height • HP 12x53 = 14 feet wall height

The Remainder of the Emergency 

Landslide Repairs were, and continue 

to be, Designed By the Districts 

and Consultants

And Our Unit ‐We are Now up to about 30 Emergency Landslide Designs

Can We Drill the Slide Sites? NO!

Page 12: Design Matrix For Emergency Landslides · Instructions for Sizing Piles In the Field by ExperiencedWall Designers • HP10x42 = 12 feet wall height • HP 12x53 = 14 feet wall height

Instrumentation? Out!

One Lane Width

3 Different Bedrock Depths

High, Medium, &, Low Groundwater

Levels 

Assumed Soil & Rock Parameters

So We looked at Several Typical Scenarios as Follows:

Page 14: Design Matrix For Emergency Landslides · Instructions for Sizing Piles In the Field by ExperiencedWall Designers • HP10x42 = 12 feet wall height • HP 12x53 = 14 feet wall height

We Also Modeled

a 28 feet Road Width and 

Looked at the Different Rock 

Depths

Page 15: Design Matrix For Emergency Landslides · Instructions for Sizing Piles In the Field by ExperiencedWall Designers • HP10x42 = 12 feet wall height • HP 12x53 = 14 feet wall height

Our Goals Was to Determine the Maximum Exposed Wall Height (Stick‐up) 

for 3 Common Pile Sizes (HP10x42, HP12x53, & HP14x73) in each Scenario

4 inches Deflection is OK for Rural Roads ‐ Service Limit State (FS=1.0)

Instructions for Sizing Piles In the Field by ExperiencedWall Designers

• HP10x42 = 12 feet wall height• HP 12x53 = 14 feet wall height• HP 14x73 = 17 feet wall height

• If you see rock at the bottom of the wall location, then you can add 2 feet to each of these max stick‐upheights.

• If the hillside is steep below the wall location or you may lose some of the passive wedge, upsize the pile.
