Abstract
Slope failure due to slope instability can initiate landslides which may result in loss of lives, property, infrastructures and economic loss. There are many factors that trigger slope failure such as rainfall, hydrological condition, groundwater level and geological formation of the slope area. However, slope failures can be prevented by monitoring high risk slopes using geotechnical instruments and electronic sensors. In this study, an early warning system was developed to immediately alert the authority and the management on slope stability by installing selected slope monitoring instruments at high risk slopes with infrastructures. Slope monitoring system using wireless network is an effective method to monitor the condition of slopes especially the inaccessible slopes in unsafe areas. By applying this system, the management can reduce cost, human resources and time on slope maintenance that can efficiently notify the maintenance team on potential unsafe slopes or slope failures. � 2020 International Association of Lowland Technology.
