Slope Stability Studies in Garhwal Himalaya

More about the book

The book focuses on the critical importance of geological and geotechnical evaluations for road construction in Uttarakhand, a state characterized by fragile Himalayan terrain. It highlights the issues arising from unplanned excavations that lead to unstable slopes and potential road failures, which can have severe consequences for safety and property. Emphasizing the need for thorough assessments of both new and existing roads, the study presents findings from slope stability research along the Karnaprayag - Gwaldam road, aiming to identify areas at risk of landslides.
