Abstract

This chapter delves into the analysis of the Inarpani landslide along the Midhill Highway in Nepal, highlighting the significant impact of landslides on life, property, and infrastructure. The study focuses on geophysical investigations using Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) to map subsurface materials and identify potential weaknesses. Geotechnical investigations, including borehole drilling and laboratory tests, reveal the presence of shallow groundwater and varying soil compositions. Slope stability analysis using GEOSTUDIO 2018 software indicates critical safety factors, emphasizing the need for immediate mitigation measures. The study concludes with recommendations for subsurface drains, gabion walls, and bioengineering to enhance slope stability and ensure road safety.
