Prevention of Landslides•Database of Slopes
•Type of Slope
•Condition•Consequences
•Cut Slopes
•Fill Slopes
•Retaining Walls
•Hybrids: Cut/Retaining Wall / Fill/Retaining Wall
•“Natural” Slopes - slopes where there has been no anthropogenic activity, or where such activity is causes small changes to the geometry of the slope so that the Factor of Safety is largely unaffected.

Development of Slope Registration Scheme
Began in late 1970’s based on geographic map area
e.g. 11SW-A
followed by a code
C - Cut Slope : F - Fill Slope
R - Retaining Wall : N - Natural Slope
CR - Cut Slope with Retaining Wall
FR - Fill Slope with Retaining Wall
followed by a number
i.e. 11SW-A/R188
refers to Retaining wall 188 in Map area 11SW-A

Some recent Landslides in Trinidad
•There is NO proactive system in place
•Everything is Reactive

Landslide at Maracas
December 2002
December 2004 – note the slide is much more
extensive

December 9th
Landslide
3 km beyond Las Cuevas as seen on TV
half of road blocked
Landslide 11th December 2004 at
approximately 13:00

Could we improve on Hong Kong System?
• A unique number code irrespective of feature type
• Allow for more codes e.g. NRF - natural-retaining-fill
• Or RC as well as CR?
• What about including a code for stability
e.g. L – Landslide
S - Stable
P – Preventative Works done etc
43D-1a/RCN-002/L
Retaining wall beneath cut slope then natural in area 43D-1a
Reference number 002 - landslide has occured

Best way to record information
• Map Reference
• need to have a good map at time of recording
• GPS – convert to Map Reference• need to have GPS (software needs to be written to convert to Map reference)
• Chainage –
•Most roads in Trinidad have chainage markers at 25 m intervals
•Easy to record
•Needs some thought to convert to GPS and hence Map Reference
•Most simple method for basic recording
