Georisk assessment and reliability design in mitigation of slope failure in tropical environment / Mohd Zuhelmy A. Ghani

This research introduces the georisk and reliability design approach to predict the sustainability of development on or near mountainous terrains. A field study was conducted on fifty two slopes to identify the most frequent factor that trigger slope instability in sedimentary slope formation. The c...
