Georisk assessment and reliability design in mitigation of slope failure in tropical environment / Mohd Zuhelmy A. Ghani

This research introduces the georisk and reliability design approach to predict the sustainability of development on or near mountainous terrains. A field study was conducted on fifty two slopes to identify the most frequent factor that trigger slope instability in sedimentary slope formation. The c...

Ghani, Mohd Zuhelmy This research introduces the georisk and reliability design approach to predict the sustainability of development on or near mountainous terrains. A field study was conducted on fifty two slopes to identify the most frequent factor that trigger slope instability in sedimentary slope formation.

Parameters such as slope geology, mode of slope failure, slope geometry, slope distress, rainfall, and drainage system and slope stabilization technique slope were studied.

The results from slopes assessment show that the weathering Grade V and Grade VI become the most favorable georisk factor of slope instability that effect the reliability of the slope.
