Remedy Measure for the Kotropi Landslide (Mandi, H.P.) India: A Case Study

Abstract

Abstract—Landslide is geologic process in which gravity force causes rock, soil, artificial fill combination of the three to move down a slope. Landslide also occurred due to slow weathering of rocks as well as soil erosion due to heavy rainfall, which cause loss of life and property too. To understand the behavior of slope, it must require a critical analysis. In current research paper author study the shear strength parameter of kotropi landslide and critical analyze the problem. There are various methods exist for the analysis of slope, in current study using SLOPE/W (Limit equilibrium based) method for the analysis. It is found that the factor of safety obtained from the analysis is very low i.e. 0.93. So, author suggest utilizing helical soil nail walls for stabilization of active landslides.
