O local de estudo em quest?o, por ser uma ?rea militar protegida, encontra-se completamente livre de interfer?ncias humanas e sem nenhuma edifica??o em seu topo, fazendo com que as an?lises sejam representativas de condi??es naturais impostas aos taludes estudados. As atividades desenvolvidas durante a elabora??o desta disserta??o est?o agrupadas em quatro etapas: revis?o bibliogr?fica, trabalhos de campo, ensaios de laborat?rio e an?lise da estabilidade das fal?sias. Atrav?s de visitas realizadas na ?rea de estudo, foram colhidas informa??es necess?rias para a posterior obten??o dos perfis cr?ticos das fal?sias para an?lise de estabilidade. Foram observados que os perfis em geral n?o s?o ?ngremes, com a presen?a de incis?o basal em alguns trechos. Verificou-se nas an?lises que as tens?es de tra??o atuantes apresentam valores baixos. O principal mecanismo respons?vel por deflagrar os processos de instabilidade ? o aumento parcial da satura??o dos solos ocasionado pelas precipita??es pluviom?tricas, o que diminui sua resist?ncia e gera movimentos de massa. Pelos ensaios realizados observou-se que o intercepto de coes?o dos solos saturados ? em torno de 26% do valor obtido para os solos no teor de umidade natural. Contudo, os ?ngulos de atrito em ambos os casos sofrem inexpressivas varia??es. Concluiu-se que a presen?a da incis?o basal n?o apresentou efeitos significativos na redu??o da estabilidade nas configura??es analisadas pelos m?todos por Equil?brio-Limite, enquanto que pela an?lise de tens?es observa-se um aumento de tens?es de tra??o na face da se??o. O estudo da an?lise de estabilidade realizado neste trabalho representou efetivamente os tipos de ruptura observados nas fal?sias do litoral do Rio Grande do Norte, sendo bem mais coerentes que os obtidos pelos m?todos tradicionais. / This Dissertation treat of obtaining geotechnical properties of sediments of Barreiras Formation and the stability analysis of the cliffs located at the Barreira do Inferno Launches Center, Parnamirim, Rio Grande do Norte State. Coastal areas attracts great interest for the population in general, and developments in these regions are quite common, causing erosive processes to be studied in order to provide a better understanding of the factors influencing the Stability of the cliffs and consequently their safety. The study site in question, being a protected military area, is completely free of human interference and without any edification at its top, making the analysis representative of natural conditions imposed on the slopes studied. The activities developed during the elaboration of this dissertation are grouped in four stages: bibliographic revision, fieldwork, laboratory tests and stability analysis of the cliffs. Based on visits accomplished in situ, information was collected for the subsequent retrieval of the critical profiles of the cliffs for stability analysis. It was observed that the profiles in general aren?t steep, with the presence of basal incision in some areas. It was verified in analyzes that the tensile tensions acting are low. The main mechanism responsible for triggering the instability processes is the partial increase of soil saturation caused by rainfall, which decreases its resistance and generates mass movements. From the tests carried out, it was observed that the cohesion intercept of the saturated soils is around 26% of the obtained value in the natural moisture content. However, the angles of friction in both cases suffer inexpressive variations It was concluded that the presence of the basal incision had no significant effect on the reduction of stability in the configurations analyzed by the limit equilibrium methods, while stress analysis showed an increase in tensile stresses on the face of the section. The study of the stability analysis performed in this work effectively represented the types of rupture observed in the cliffs of the coast of Rio Grande do Norte, being more coherent than those obtained by traditional methods.
