Large-scale slope destabilization could be aggravated due to swift urbanization and ever-
rising demands of geoengineering projects such as dams, tunnels, bridges and widening …

Slope stability is of significant importance for sustainable development in mining, civil-
engineering, and urban planning. This paper attempted to assess the stability conditions of …

The mountainous regions of India are highly susceptible to rockfall due to several factors,
including intense rainfall, seismic activity, and often due to extensive road cutting leading to …

Himalaya is one of the most tectonically and seismically active mountain chains in the world
having complex geological and geotechnical conditions. The Himalayan region experiences …

The complex geological environment due to active tectonics and varied lithology with
multiple phases of deformation and metamorphism led to a rugged topography and large …

GIS-based kinematic stability analysis in rock slopes is a rare practice in geological
engineering despite its immense potential to delineate unstable zones in a mountainous …

The 3D point clouds obtained from the low-cost, remote, and precise SfM (Structure from
Motion) technique allow the extraction and acquisition of discontinuities and their …

The rocks of the Himalayan terrain are highly deformed and distorted due to complex
geological and tectonics setup. Failures of slopes are always reported along National …

A massive disaster occurred in June 2013 in Kedarnath, India, due to cloudburst and
extremely heavy rain along the Chorabari glacier. The resulting flash floods further …

Himalayan mountain chains are neo-tectonically active and significantly susceptible to
frequent geohazards like landslides, earthquakes, cloudburst and flash floods, etc …
