STRENGTH OF SOIL MAY BE IMPROVED ON HILL TERRAINS BY PROVIDING B/ WALLS ON THE BASE LINE AND PLANTATION ON THE BATTER PROFILE

Land slides occurence in hilly area has become frequent  due to slopes failure along the uphill sides of roads for which the appropriate ratio of width to height must be maintained as per the classification of soils.The high intensity rain fall is also a reason for the such incidents.It is necessary to protect the safety measures as laid by the study of impact assessment realised by the trends occuring in the upward movement of the soil along the uphill sides of the road if it is increasing frequently the breast walls should be provided on the upper side of the road to protect the base line / width of the road and the portion of the upper profile of the area from where the land slides coming down must be protected by way of the plantation on the area covered by the batter and occurence in the area interfered by the classification of soil.The said land slides are occuring from the decades in many places for which specific consideration should be made and appropriate action plan must be designed on said spots so that area covered under unsafe land slides occurence may be protected by the study of protocol mentioned in the codes of practice for specifications under future plans and escape of the road safety by land slides batter along the uphill sides of roads suggested for the improvement of slopes and strength of soils along the upper side of the road
