ANALYSIS OF HEAVY METALS CONTENT AS A KEY INDICATOR TO PREDICT SHALLOW-SLOPE FAILURE

Degradation or decline of soil quality that cause shallow slope failure may occur due to physical or chemical pro¬cesses. It can be triggered off by natural phenomena, or induced by humans through misuse of land resources, excessive development and urbanization leads to deforestation and erosion of...
