Landslide Susceptibility Zonation Study and Mapping on NH66 from Mahad to Mangoan Using QGIS

Abstract

A landslide can be detetermined as the evolution of a mass of rock, debris or earth down a slope. As analysis of stability of slope is utmost importance because of vacillation of the entire soil mass and which may lead to fatality and great economic prejudice. Slope stability survey may help in future undesirable incidences and distruption in a large and important projects of civil engineering such as dams, highways and tunnels etc. Now a day there are various alternate methods used by engineers to develop land slide zonation maps for slope stability analysis, some of them are quite meticulous and while some are extravagant. Here the aim of project is to prepare land slide susceptibility zonation map of NH -66 from Mahad to Mangaon (27km) using Qgis.
