This document summarizes an analysis of soil liquefaction potential through field tests. It describes introducing the project, reviewing literature on the topic, describing the methodology, objectives, and site location. Field tests were conducted on soil samples collected from the site, including density, specific gravity, and grain size distribution tests. The results were analyzed to determine soil properties. Landslide mitigation techniques like ground anchors, soil nails, horizontal drains, and bamboo planting were discussed. The conclusion determined the soil's water content increases the slope's instability during monsoon season. References on the topic of soil liquefaction were also provided.

3. INTRODUCTION
• Liqueafaction is a phenomenon in which the strength and stiffness of a soil is
reduced by earthquake shaking or other rapid loading. Liquefaction and related
phenomena have been responsible for tremendous amounts of damage in historical
earthquakes around the world.
• Soil liquefaction occurs when a cohesionless saturated or partially saturated soil
substantially loses strength and stiffness in response to an applied stress such as
shaking during an earthquake or other sudden change in stress condition.

21. Earth retaining systems using ground anchors
• Common applications of earth retaining systems using ground anchors include
soldier pile walls with anchors, sheet pile walls with anchors, diaphragm walls with
anchors, and secant pile walls with anchors.

22. Soil Nails
Soil nailing is a ground stabilisation technique used to reinforce and strengthen existing
ground. It can be used on either natural or excavated slopes. It involves drilling holes
for steel bars to be inserted into a slope face which are then grouted in place. It is
economical and also applicable in seismic zones.

23. Horizontal Drains used for Slope Stabilization
The presence of water is one of the most critical factors contributing to the instability of
hillslopes. A common solution to stabilize hillslopes is installation of horizontal drains
to decrease the elevation of the water table surface.

24. Planting of bamboo for prevent landslides
Using bamboo to prevent landslides has been found successful in many countries like
Malaysia, the Philippines and Nepal.The bamboo tree has a wide-spreading root system
capable of holding loose soil. In other words, the tree is deep-rooted and best suited
against landslides.

25. Conclusion
1.Water content of soil is suddenly increases due to heavy rainfall in less time , average
water content is about 39% and soil is latcratic type , having high to moderate
permeability due to this water percolate into soil and soil become highly saturated and
unstable and flows down-word.
2.From tha basic survey , due to absence of gutters and drainage media percolated water
does not have way to drain of and water remains as it is in soil.
3.By comparing the factor of safety for both situation we conclude that in monsoon
seasaon this slope very unstable and dangerous.
