Abstract
The aim for this research is to improve a structure that can withstand the impact of the
landslides by conducting a simulation of the landslides flow using the SLOPE/W
software. A finding from this simulation will be used to determine a safe factor of safety
(FOS) of 1.3 for the construction at the hilly area in fulfilling the requirement set up by
Jabatan Kerja Raya Malaysia (JKR). This research studies took place at the hill of
Cameron Highlands since this famous tourism attraction hill is located in tropical region
of Malaysia and is subjected to heavy rainfall for long duration that gives a negative
impact to the soil structure to hold the downpour for too long and thus causing a
landslides. In order to improve a design on a proper structure that able to lessens the
landslides impact that is affecting the stability and safety factor, the piling method by
using spun piles is chosen by varying the position of the single, double and triple row
piling on the slope. The piling row is utilised in the SLOPE/W software. Besides, this
research also does a studies whether different angle of inclination affect the factor of
safety of the slope. Based on the finding, double piling row is more efficient in
minimising the slope instability risk by considering the cost and duration taken to
complete the construction work. Data obtained are plotted and can be used as the future
reference for the construction on the hilly area in Cameron Highlands.
