Macro-scale (1:50,000) Landslide Susceptibility Mapping in parts of Toposheets nos. 47H/16, 48E/09, 48E/10, 48E/13 & 48E/14, Sindhudurg & Kolhapur Districts, Maharashtra.
Major discontinuities responsible for failures are J1 -45┬░ towards 175┬░, J2 -80┬░ towards 270┬░, J3 - 54┬░ towards 105┬░,J4 - 60┬░ towards 10┬░.

Removal of the overhanging, loose block of rocks at crown area.Dressing of the distressed slope. Construction of toe support retaining structure with sufficient weep holes. Construction of Hill side drains.Rock bolting, if required.


Inter relationship between the discontinuities present within the rock  favoures for wedge failures as the failure surface daylighted  due to  unplanned slope cut  in the form of  excessive excavation of slope material  during road bench construction wit
