Weak slope forming material, percolation of rain water into the weak overburden material, increase of pore water pressure, loss of cohesion and shear strength are some of the geoscientific causes that caused this failure. Toe cutting of slope for road co

This road section has high concentration of minor slope cut failures.
Kepre Tongikro Mongjang slide No.7
Kepre Tongikro Mongjang road section.
1. Timely maintenance of lined hillside draiNGe system.
2. Moderation of slope gradient may be considered.
3. Toe support in both upslope and downslope through construction of strong concrete retaining wall with sufficient weep holes.

1. Destabilization of slope due to ill planned cutting for road construction.
2. Weak slope forming material comprising mainly of weathered friable micaceous sandstone and considerable thickness of insitu soil.
3. Overburden thickness of 2ΓÇô5m.
4. Re
