SLOPE STABILITY ANALYSIS OF KALLAR-COONOOR HILL ROAD STRETCH OF THE NILGIRIS
-
Description
-
The study analyzes slope stability along the Kallar-Coonoor hill road in the Nilgiris, a region prone to frequent landslides due to factors like heavy rainfall, steep slopes, and inadequate drainage. Researchers conducted geotechnical assessments at 32 locations, measuring soil parameters such as density, cohesion, and internal friction. They utilized both conventional methods and a Back Propagation Artificial Neural Network (BP-ANN) to predict the factor of safety for slope stability. The BP-ANN approach demonstrated a higher accuracy (85.7%) compared to the conventional method (71.4%), emphasizing its effectiveness in assessing landslide risks and the necessity for slope protection measures in vulnerable areas.
