In the present study, slope stability assessment of selected cut slopes on a road stretch of approximately 25 km length along the National Highway (NH-58) between Shivpuri and Kaudiyala in the Lesser Himalaya of Uttarakhand has been carried out. This NH-58 connects Rishikesh with Badrinath and Kedarnath, two important Hindu shrines in Uttarakhand and also the border areas of the country. Hence, it is obvious that this highway is important from the pilgrimage, tourism and defense point of view. The present study includes characterization of rock mass, computation of slope mass classification ratings and comparison of different rock mass classification systems (such as RMR, GSI, SMR and CSMR) for 25 numbers of rock slopes along the selected road stretch. Also, kinematic analyses have been performed for all these slopes to understand the mode of slope failure. Further, stability analyses of a few significant road cut slopes have been carried out using a finite element tool.
