Abstract

Large-scale landslides of Sou-San areas have been recognized as a serious problem at Kaoshiung City in Taiwan. Susceptibility to sliding is determined by the geological structure of the slope, the lithology of the rocks, seasonal ground-water table fluctuations, earthquakes, excessive and intensive rainfall, and the geo-morphological development within this sliding area. In this study field investigations and laboratory examinations have been precisely conducted. It is expected that this study can provide an optimized techniques applied on the landslide control and stabilization for the Sou-San areas at Kaoshiung city in Taiwan.
