A study in Jammu and Kashmir, India, investigated road cut slope instability, a common issue in the region, resulting in frequent failures and transportation disruptions. The study used field observations and geological conditions to assess stability using techniques like rock mass rating, geological strength index, and slope mass rating. The analysis revealed various failure mechanisms, with wedge failures being the most common. The study identified high-risk zones and recommended mitigation strategies, aiding in the development of development projects and mitigating risks in the region.
