| 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. |
