GENERAL GEOLOGY AND ENGINEERING GEOLOGY AT KM40-KM30 LOJING-GUA MUSANG ROAD, KELANTAN

Slope stability has become an important issue in the engineering geology as it affects the safety of the surrounding environment as the study example is a slope at the major road. Failure of slopes are generally caused by the conditions of the rocks and also the external factors which enhance the fa...

Failure of slopes are generally caused by the conditions of the rocks and also the external factors which enhance the failure potential. The condition of rocks is altered due to chemical and sometimes by the physical weathering. Due to these factors, it causes the rock to become weak and less cohesive thus results in the formation of joints and fractures.
