Abstract

A variety of natural and man-made risks have an impact on Himachal Pradesh in India. Despite the state's many potential hazards, landslides are the most frequent and tend to happen more frequently during the rainy season. The goal of this research is to comprehend the level of knowledge regarding landslide hazard management in Himachal Pradesh at the moment. Under the state's established strategy, landslide disasters are effectively managed in the state. Geotechnical investigations of the soil have been shown to be helpful in figuring out possible mitigation strategies. Using GIS to make landslide susceptibility zonation maps has been shown to be the best way to stop landslides. It has been demonstrated that tools like Plaxis 2D are quite helpful for analyzing slopes and the efficacy of solutions.
