Summary:

      

       In this study, slope stability analyses of the six rock slopes on Arhavi-Hopa (Artvin) highway were carried out by using rock mass classification systems (SMR, slope mass rating) and kinematic analysis. The detailed stability analyses were performed by using SMR on the unstable rock slopes considering to the results of kinematic analysis.

The geological units are Late Cretaceous aged Kızılkaya Formation containing dacite, rhyodacite ant their pyroclastits, Late Cretaceous aged Çağlayan Formation consisting of limestone and marl interbedded basalt and andesite, and Quternary alluvium in the area.

       In this study, six slopes on Arhavi-Hopa (Artvin) highway were performed considering to the slope stability. In the stability analyses of rock slopes, discontinuity properties were conducted by using scan line analysis at first, and secondly the discontinuity effects on stability were investigated. In addition, the obtained data from the results of kinematic analysis were supported with the analyses based on rock the mass classifications.

According to the results of the kinematic analyses and SMR system, planer failure on 330/50 directed discontiunities and wedge failure on intersect of 330/50 and 240/80 directed discontiunities are supposed on the all rock slopes.

       As a result of study, for prevention of planer failure on 330/50 directed discontiunities and wedge failure on intersect of 330/50 and 240/80 directed discontiunities, all slopes should be rearranged, and detailed drainage system should be developed.
