Modification of slope maintenance program along FT59, Jalan Tapah-Cameron Highland, Perak
Generally slope failure is a stochastic event. Slope failure occurs without warning. Thus it is quite difficult to determine where and when failures will occurs. This critical situation become worsen due to the unpredictable climate, poor of maintenance, lack of education on slope failure and pre-as...
