Assessment of Small Diameter Steel Pile as a Stabilizing Element for Transmission Tower Slope Stability

Background: Stabilization of unstable slopes with relatively large reinforced concrete piles has been widely adopted over the past several decades. Small diameter steel have advantages as a slope reinforcement technique for an transmission tower where space and access restrictions that typically occur render alternate approaches unfeasible. Methods: In this study, numerical performance assessment small pile stabilizing element stability was carried out using uncoupled analysis, in which response are considered separately. Numerical evaluations presented influencing parameters could affect behavior reinforcing to increase investigated. Results: The analysis results indicate soil properties, geometry, location, diameter, length number rows combined effect on stabilize slopes. Conclusion: can satisfactorily capture some fundamental multi-row piles.
