Abstract of the proposal

Slope failure has long been the subject of local research but the study of the impact of hydrogeological conditions on slope stability in Hong Kong has received relatively little attention. The aims of this proposed project are: 1) to study the permeability characteristics of slopes of weathered igneous rocks which suffered one or more landslides and 2) to explore the impact of confined groundwater zones on the slope stability. This proposed study will have implications on slope stability evaluation and remedial work design.
