Oct 10, 2017 · Introduction. Landslides are one of the major geohazards occurring frequently in Malaysia. They are responsible for both compensatory and non-compensatory losses. Besides damaging infrastructure, they cause loss of life, environmental degradation, and interrupt the economic activity.
By fact, the phenomenon of the sinkhole is a common in Kinta Valley as its compound in karsts environment with limestone bedrock underlain about 80% of the area. The occurrences of sinkholes always affected badly on urban development and caused economic loses to the owner or landlord. The record regarding the sinkholes in pass days was
Jan 1, 2018 · In this paper, a brief review on sinkhole formation and data related to karst topography as well as main mechanism of sinkhole collapses in Trang and Satun provinces are presented.
Our investigations of 49 cases of landslides over the last 6 years indicate that 60% of the failure are due to design alone, and the rest of the failures are either due to construction errors, a combination of design and construction errors, geological features and maintenance.
Sinkhole data bases preferably should include information on the following aspects: (1) Precise location of the sinkholes edges. (2) Morphometric parameters. (3) Geomorphological and hydrological context. (4) Genetic type; that is subsidence mechanisms and material affected by subsidence.
Jul 25, 2013 · Integrated techniques were performed across two housing complex construction sites north Ipoh city, Perak state, peninsular Malaysia. An assessment of the situation was surmised from the subsurface images. Subsequently an estimation of the possibility of a collapse occurring due to sinkhole was prepared.
Consequently, many environmental problems occured, especially conserning geo-hazards (Sinkholes, rock fall) along with technological advances in Remote Sensing and Geographical Information Systems (GIS).
