This book encompasses various aspects of landslide investigation in the hilly regions and lays emphasis on site specific field observations and kinematics in understanding the slope failure mechanism. A case study was undertaken along the National Highway between Jammu and Udhampur in Jammu and Kashmir State (India) in the Northwest Himalaya. Field observations along with the data sets on the slope aspects, precipitation and joint sets were collected and analyzed. The study reveals that the hill slopes comprising of fragile and water sensitive lithologies (sandstone-mudstone alternations) beco...
