Abstract:
The study outlines a comprehensive approach to slope stability assessment, integrating various methodologies such as limit equilibrium analysis, kinematic analysis, and hazard mapping into a unified framework. It begins with an introduction to the significance of slope stability assessment in hilly and mountainous regions, followed by a review of relevant literature, emphasizing previous works utilizing individual techniques. The methodology section details the integration of UAV and geological surveys, followed by kinematic and limit equilibrium analyses using specialized software. Grounded in this methodology, the research aims to identify potential failure zones, calculate factors of safety, and create slope hazard maps. These outcomes hold critical significance as they provide invaluable insights for land-use planning, infrastructure development, and disaster risk reduction efforts in vulnerable areas, ultimately contributing to the safety and sustainability of communities residing in such regions.
