A master’s thesis was discussed in Department of Civil Engineering /College of Engineering/University of Mosul entitled (Numerical Analysis for the stability of Armed Slopes Exposed to Earthquakes ) for the student(Mohammad Hawas Hamid ) on Sunday(6/9/2020)on the hall Discussion in Department of Civil Engineering, by relyingon electronic remote communication with a section of the discussion committee members.
The thesis included studying thestability ofarmed slopes exposed to earthquake loads by finding the safety factor and the value of the critical acceleration coefficient of the slope.
It found that the value of the safety coefficient of the slope improves by a rate ranging between(10-12)%with increasing the soil cohesion value by(5Kpa)It wasalso noted that theimpact of thevehicleverticalsto shake a few safety factor compared with thehorizontal composite effect.
The study recommended to thework offield studies of theslopes in thecity ofMosul , aswell as to study theeffect of theuse ofother types of armament.The Committee discussion consisted of : –
1. Asst. Prof. Dr.Salah Wadie Ibrahim … (Chairman).
2. Asst. Prof. Dr.Mahdi KarkushObaid…. (Member).
3. Asst. Prof. Dr.Moataz AbdulJabbar Al-Obaidi … (Member).
4. Prof. Dr.Suhail Idris Khattab… (memberand supervisor).
5. Dr.Qutaiba Nizar Qasim … (memberand supervisor).Then the discussion committee read the decision which included acceptance the thesis and award the student the master degree.
