GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Slope stabilization refers to any implemented technique that aims to stabilize an unstable or inadequately stable slope. The purpose of slope stabilization techniques is to increase the Factor of Safety of a slope to a level that is considered adequate.

Detailed explanation-2: -Slopes can be stabilized by adding a surface cover to the slope, excavating and changing (or regrading) the slope geometry, adding support structures to reinforce the slope or using drainage to control the groundwater in slope material.

Detailed explanation-3: -Geometric techniques: The application of geometric techniques brings about a change in the geometry of slope. 2. Hydrological techniques: The adoption of hydrological techniques lowers the water content of soil/rock material by reducing the groundwater table.

Detailed explanation-4: -Slope stability refers to the ability of a slope or hillside to resist the downward movement or collapse of soil and rock materials. Landslides are a common form of slope failure, which can result in significant damage to property and infrastructure, loss of life, and environmental impacts.

Detailed explanation-5: -The three basic types of soil stabilization techniques are (1) Mechanical (2) Compaction & (3) Chemical.
