• Abstract:
  Landslides or embankment slope failures on ; highways occur for a variety of reasons, such as ; excessive precipitation, flooding, deterioration of ; soil strength over time, and adverse man-made ; activities. The slope failures not only affect ; roadways but also impact adjacent structures. ; Repairing slope failures may require lane closures ; or even detours that result in additional travel time ; and fuel cost as well as the diminished commercial ; activities in the affected area. The Office of ; Geotechnical Engineering (OGE) recognizes the ; need to develop a strategy to provide timely ; preventive maintenance to avoid on-set of large or ; catastrophic slope failures. Furthermore, with ; limited financial resources, the OGE is forced to ; make rational decisions on the priority of various ; landslide (slope failure) maintenance and ; remediation needs. The decision-making and ; prioritizing of maintenance/remediation plans can ; be executed objectively only when a framework of ; the landslide hazard rating system is developed, and ; a well developed and populated inventory of ; existing landslide sites is in existence.
