Slope instability problems exist along Sonmarg highway of J&K, India and often these in stabilities result in landslides and slip surface failures at vulnerable spots. This paper presents slope stability analysis of two distinct failure susceptible slopes at Gagangir, Sonmarg along with the stabilization measures after a comprehensive evaluation. In the initial phase, investigations were carried out at two distinct locations. Thereafter, then various tests were conducted for the characterization of collected soil samples and the evaluation of physical and mechanical properties of soil. Using the evaluated properties of soil, slope stability analysis was carried out with the help of limit equilibrium based GEO-5 software. After analysis, slopes were found to be unstable under natural conditions and hence needed stabilization. Various simulations considering different configurations of slopes were carried out in GEO-5 using different stabilizing measures that included the construction of retaining walls, soil nailing, anchoring, etc. Then, stability analysis of slopes was carried out to check for any improvement in the factor of safety. After optimization of results, suitable suggestions were proposed to the executing agency for increasing the stability of slopes and consequently for a continuation of road construction along the terrain.
