Numerical Modelling of the Slope: A Case Study of Dounia Park (North Algeria)

Abstract

In this study, we describe the landslide of Dounia Park, Northen the capital Algiers, exactly in the city of Dely Ibrahim, near the Mercedes house. It is regarded as a huge park with games, and the green lungs of Algiers. This study is based on the configuration of the slope, mechanical properties and soil class, geology intervenes in the relief geomorphology and stratification, water, and earthquake shaking, etc…, the field observation has revealed the existence of land instabilities, cracks, and types of landslides (translation, rotation), in order to examine the landslides of Dounia Park, numerical modeling by the finite element limit analysis is employed to investigate this slope. The results obtained in this article show numerous points. During the site visit, it was observed that the area of Dounia Park is affected by many types of instabilities. Also, this paper show adequately give out the morphology of the slope instability observed on the site.
