Prakriti Shahdeo & Shambhu Mishra

ABSTRACT:

Slope stabilization is a crucial aspect of mitigating natural hazards and ensuring the safety and longevity of infrastructure in and around slopes. This review paper synthesizes current knowledge and advancements in slope stabilization methods, providing a comprehensive and reliable source of information for researchers and policymakers. It categorizes stabilization techniques into traditional methods, such as terracing, drainage control, and vegetation reinforcement, alongside modern approaches, including soil nailing and rock bolting. Each method is evaluated based on its effectiveness, applicability to different slope types, environmental impact, and economic feasibility. Moreover, the paper discusses emerging technologies and innovative strategies that enhance slope stability assessment and management. The aim of this review is to guide researchers and policymakers in selecting appropriate methods for sustainable slope stabilization practices in diverse geographic and climatic conditions, thereby contributing to the practical application of geotechnical engineering and environmental science. The comprehensive nature of this review ensures that readers have access to all the necessary information to make informed decisions.
