The presence of two sets of joint in weathered sandstone, seepage of water along the discontinuity planes, and over saturation of weak overburden material resting on steep slope during rainfall resulted in wedge type failure. The slide also brought down

The landslide might pose a threat to the cultivated land nearby.
Kepre Tongikro Mongjang slide No.13
Approx. 500 m NW of Mongjang.
1. Moderation of slope gradient may be considered.
2. Construction of strong concrete retaining wall with sufficient weep holes.
3. Revegetation of slope with fibrous roots system plants.

1. Weak slope forming material comprising mainly of weathered and jointed sandstone, sandstone boulders embedded within insitu soil.
2. Failure due to intersection of joints.
3. Steep slope angle of about 45┬║.
4. Reduction of slope materialΓÇÖs s
