Abstract
Many researches have tried to specify the best position of pile to stabilize the earth slope. This article investigates the best position of pile on earth slope despite different results obtained from previous researches. Slope crown, downslope and middle of slope are positions obtained by researchers for installing the pile on earth slope. Limit analysis (LA), limit equilibrium method (LEM), experimental and finite element (FE) methods have been used for finding the best position of pile. This article investigates a solution to unify the results of entire methods and finding the best position for installing the pile. The results of all methods comply with another and present a unique failure mechanism. The experimental and FE methods indicated that the best pile position in cohesion less soils is at the middle of slope; and the best position in cohesive soils is in the one-third middle area. It can be concluded that the near to XF/LX = 1/2 of slope is the best location for installation of pile.
