Soil Analysis and stability of slope

In recent times the natural hazards in India & all around the world are increasing day by day. Many of the hazards are happening due do man made activities. One such example of man-made hazard is landslide.This project report consisting of field investigation and numerical analysis of the landslide, which affecting Malin village of Pune district in Maharashtra, India. The Malin village was wiped out due to landslide, occurred on July 30, 2014; however, only a primary school and few houses remained safe during the event, and mass of the people buried in debris of slide. To study the causes of the landslide, field study has been carried out. Representative samples of soil have been collected at three locations of the hill viz. L1 (bottom of the hill), L2 (middle of the hill) and L3 (top of the hill) for the determination of the slope stability and soil analysis in the laboratory. This study shows that the hill slope was unstable with FOS<1 and prone to failure.
