Stability Analysis of Slopes at a Landslide Prone Area: A Case Study on the Landslide at Madikere, India
https://orcid.org/http://orcid.org/0000-0003-3324-7483
The recurring landslides at Madikeri in India during rainy seasons have created fear among people in this area. In 2018, high rainfall was recorded in Makkandur, Kodagu District, located in the Western Ghats of India. This led to severe landslides, floods, and soil displacement. In the present study, the soil in the landslide prone area was analyzed to identify the suitable amendment to improve the slope stability. In-situ and laboratory experiments were conducted on the soil to examine the characteristics of this soil. The soil properties were determined with and without amendments to know the improvement in the factor of safety of the slope. The factors of safety corresponding to two different heights of slopes presented at the site were estimated using the Taylor’s stability number. The stability analysis was also performed using GEO5 software tool. Two amendments, fly ash and rice husk ash, were studied in different proportions and found that there is considerable increase in the factors of safety with the selected additives.
