Variability And Rainfall Against Slope Failure For Penang Island

Rainfall is one of the factors that can cause slope instability problems in Malaysia especially Penang Island is one of the areas which have corrugated and hilly topography. Thus, this study had been done throughout the two locations in Penang Island and they are Air Itam and Batu Lanchang with the...
