2. Slope monitoring as we all know is a very useful methodology in geotechnical engineering. It particularly is used for assessment of safety of natural or manmade slopes. This includes road cuts, open pit mining, landfills, excavations, embankments, to name a few. 3. Applications of Slope Monitoring Slope monitoring is used in regular monitoring of natural slope failures and active landslides and other slope failures remotely. It is also used for monitoring the periodic stability of high walls of open pit mines. Slope monitoring plays a significant role in monitoring the railway line cuttings and continuous survey of road side cuttings that are subject to rockfalls. 4.

Objectives of Slope Monitoring - The main objective behind slope monitoring is finding out the areas which are endangered, to determine the slope stability to different mechanisms which trigger, investigating all the potential mechanisms of failure and designing slopes that are safe and reliable. Even the remedial measures like stabilization and barriers are designed. 6. Slope Stability Radar Slope monitoring is used to monitor open-cut mines and its high walls. Also, the safety and stability of open-cut mines has been a significant issue around the world. There is this application that is popularly used for slope stability monitoring is the slope stability radar or SSR. Its major role is to monitor the minutest of precursory movements in the slope which lead to collapse of the mine walls or rock failures.
