Abstract:

Highway slopes are exposed to a variety of environmental and climatic conditions, such as deforestation, cycles of freezing and thawing weather, and heavy storms. Over time, these climatic conditions, in combination with other factors such as geological formations, slope angle and groundwater conditions can influence slope stability. These factors contribute to slope failures that are hazardous to highway structures and to the traveling public. Consequently, it is crucial to have a management system that tracks, records, evaluates, analyzes, and reviews the soil slope failure and remediation data so that cost effective and statistically efficient remedial plans may be developed. The final report presents the framework for developing such a system for the State of Maryland, using a GIS database and a collective overlay of maps to indicate potentially unstable highway slopes through spatial and statistical analysis.
