Geotechnical Hazards Management for Hillside Development

Geotechnical Hazards, especially for hillside development is known to be able to cause huge
losses if occurred. Though there are many mitigation techniques have been developed, it is
more practical if the risks are managed from its root for better control of the hazards and more
cost-effective solution. However, it is not possible to provide equal treatment to each risk as
the resources are very limited. Because of that, it is important to manage the hazards
efficiently in order to optimize resources such as capital and work force besides preventing
losses especially in terms of lives and monetary. The outcome of the project is aimed at
professional geotechnical/civil engineers, although it will also be useful to the general public,
many of whom carry responsibility for slope maintenance as owners of property. This paper
describes the effective method in Geotechnical Hazards Management for Hillside
Development.
