Discontinuities-Driven Slope Stability Assessment and Mineralogical Studies Along Mughal Road, Jammu and Kashmir, India

In contrast to their serenity, the roads cut through the Himalayas pose a significant threat to life and property, owing to their geomorphology, lithology, and status of discontinuities. The demarcation of unstable stretches along these roads through different geoengineering approaches is a valuable tool to mitigate the risks caused by these failures. The present research aims at assessing the stability of rock slopes and delineates the failure-susceptible/unstable slopes along the Mughal Road in the Srinagar district of Jammu and Kashmir, administered by India. The Mughal Road falls under a high-risk seismic zone (Zone-IV). The study employs different conventional and numerical geoengineering approaches to correlate the failure potential with the orientation of discontinuities and slope directions. The rock mass rating (basic) and Geological Strength Index (visual and quantified) have been utilized in the present study to determine the strength of the rock mass. Further, the discrete and continuous slope mass rating coupled with kinematic analysis and stereographic projections were adopted to assess the slope stability and identify the favorable discontinuity orientation for a particular type of failure. Eight sites along the study area were selected for the analysis, which was found to be partially stable to completely unstable. The seismic slope stability analysis is evaluated through pseudo-static analysis using Slope/W Software. Further, the mineralogical investigation studies used the X-ray diffraction method to support the analysis. The proposed framework for the analysis of the stability of slopes is a promising approach to capturing the real-time status and helps prevent failures.
