The affected slope is composed of loosely packed, friable sandstone. Toe removal and cutting of slope for road construction at a critical angle disturbed the angle of repose of the material.  Oversaturation of these weak materials during incessant or int

Timely implementation of remedial measure will prevent the slope from further failures.

Nobdi Langting–Phath road section
1. Moderation of slope gradient may be considered.
2. Construction and timely maintenance of lined hillside draiNGe system.
3. Construction of reinforced retaining wall at the toe of the slide with sufficient weep holes.

1. Destabilization of slope due to ill planned cutting (near vertical) for road construction.
2. Weak slope forming material comprising mainly of friable sandstone and sandy insitu soil.
3. Overburden thickness of 2ΓÇô5m.
4. Reduction of strength on o
