1. Construction of hillside drains along the road. 2. Retaining wall may be constructed at the toe of the slope with sufficient weep holes. 3. Benches/terraces may be adopted to create slope stability.
1. Poor slope forming material comprising of sandysilt soil. 2. During rainfall the weak material loses its cohesive strength leading to slope failure.
