Construction of benched/stepped gabion walls from the down slope along the face of the slide for ready passage of water through the porous wall. In addition, it is recommended to provide lined hillside drainage system along with chute drain on the downsl
Reduction of strength on saturation by seepage from roadside drainage The material below the road is largely loose unconsolidated soil and clay. The rock exposed below the road is weathered and friable in nature which is susceptible to saturation and act
