The <br>stability of soils analysis is routinely performed by engineers to evaluate the stability of embankment dams, <br>road embankments, river training works, excavations, and retaining walls. In frozen regions of Russia and <br>Kazakhstan, roads may promote shallow landsliding, gully formation, or headward channel migration through <br>interception of subsurface flow along with the road cut and concentration of flow on particular areas below the <br>road, while shallow landslide hazards in soil slopes usually happen, which pose a serious threat to road safety <br>operations. The research goal of this paper is to conduct field observations and numerical simulation tests and <br>stability analysis to investigate the soil strength and stability of the geotechnical engineering system. The <br>research object of this paper is the road engineering M32: Samara - Shymkent (Russia - Kazakhstan). The <br>results show that under the same simulation conditions and an increase in surface roughness and inhomogeneity <br>of soil particles, the dynamic stability of the slope increases. This article presents the basic engineering <br>properties with an emphasis on design strength parameters of soil together with the stability analysis results <br>considering the unsaturated condition.</p> ER -
