Potential Liability Associated with Unstable Slope Management Programs
Slope failures pose serious risks for state transportation
agencies and federal agencies that own or maintain
roads, highways, and/or adjacent property. Many transportation
agencies have adopted unstable slope management programs
and standards as part of a larger effort to provide
an efficient and effective methodology to prevent or control
landslides or rockfalls.
The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's
NCHRP LRD 82:
Potential Liability Associated with Unstable Slope Management Programs
provides a detailed description of several
specific unstable slope management programs, including
the type of data collected and rating systems that
are utilized.
