Analysis of slope stability and proposed remedial work for failure slope at Kuala Lumpur
The objective of this study is to determine the cause of failure and evaluate the slope stability in order to propose remedial measure for stabilization. The investigate slope discussed in this paper is located at Persiaran Endah and within 10 kilometers from Kuala Lumpur. This slope is around 23 to...
