General geology and relationship between particle size, plasticity index and clay mineral content with slope failure at Kampung Bukit Pak Abu, Dabong, Kelantan

Slope failures are caused by many factors in which the strength of the soil is disturbed. The relationship between particle size, plasticity index and clay mineral is investigated in this research. The study area has a longitude between 102° 3‘l5.99"E to 102° 7'27.31"E and latitude be...
