Location: Lake Lure, NC Overview: Following Hurricane Helen, intense rainfall triggered a slope failure beneath Proctor Road, threatening roadway stability and long-term slope performance. The project required a solution that would stabilize the slope while minimizing additional driving forces that could lead to future landslip events. Challenge: The failure occurred below the roadway, where restoring the slope using traditional fill would have increased the driving force of the soil mass and heightened the risk of continued movement. The repair needed to reduce overall slope loading while addressing voids created during excavation and stabilization activities. Solution: Portions of the failed material were excavated, and vertical micropiles and soil nails were installed to stabilize the slope. Shotcrete was then applied to form a durable, reinforced protective wall. Low-Density Cellular Concrete (LDCC) with a cast density of 30 pcf was used to fill the remaining voids between the shotcrete wall and the slope. The lightweight, highly flowable nature of LDCC allowed the voids to be filled efficiently while significantly reducing the driving forces acting on the slope. Results:
