Abstract
The scope of this project is to continue building and designing a slope stability flume for
the USI’s civil engineering department. A slope stability flume is a device used to simulate
landslides, water erosion, evaporation, etc. The flume will be made by using steel bar stock,
Lexan siding, and other materials. A floor jack will be provided to be able to tilt one side of the
flume when used for testing, as well as casters for easy movement. The flume will also be able
to support the weight of moist sand, along with easy cleaning solutions. The flume will also
double as a storage bin and desk for students when it is not being used.
