The purpose of the Summit Home Owner Association (HOA) project is to examine and redesign an unstable open channel. One of the homeowners is experiencing geotechnical issues as a portion of their backyard is slipping into the channel.
The slippage of the soil has created a slope instability, which resulted in property damage. On the other hand, the lateral pressure from the soil has also damaged the homeowner’s fence. Therefore, the client requests for the fence to be reasonably higher than the sidewalk. Other problem with the channel is that the sediments are building up near the storm outlets due to the watershed upstream. The sediment build up is not associated with the soil slippage so the group must consider a design to reduce the blockage.
