Hulu Kelang is known as one of the most landslide-prone areas in Malaysia. The area has been constantly hit by landslide hazards since 1990s. This paper provides an insight into the mechanism of rainfall-induced landslide in the Hulu Kelang area. Rainfall patterns prior to the occurrences of five selected case studies were first analyzed. The results showed that daily rainfall information is insufficient for predicting landslides in the area. Rainfalls of longer durations, i.e., 3–30 days prior to the landslides should be incorporated into the prediction model. Numerical simulations on a selected case study demonstrated that both matric suction and factor of safety decreased steadily over time until they reached the lowest values on the day of landslide occurrence. Redistribution of infiltrated rainwater in the soil mass could be a reason for the slow response of failure mechanism to rainfall. Based on 21 rainfall-induced landslides that had occurred in the area, three rainfall thresholds were developed as attempts to predict the occurrence of rainfall-induced landslide. The rainfall intensity–duration threshold developed based on the local rainfall conditions provided a reasonably good prediction to the landslide occurrence. The cumulative 3- versus 30-day antecedent precipitation index threshold chart was capable of giving the most reliable prediction with the limiting threshold line for major landslide yielded a reliability of 97.6 %.

This study revisits the Bukit Antarabangsa, a hilly topographic region of Ampang Jaya where a number of landslides occurred between year 1990 and 2010, resulted in 65 lives perished. Among those fatal landslides were the collapsed of a block of Highland Towers condominium, Taman Hillview bungalow and Taman Bukit Mewah housing estate. In examining historical cases of the area from regional perspective and new supplementary data, there were numerous evidences showing the lands had been greatly battered and modified since the last 50 years before the fatal landslides occurred. It was found these extensive land exploitation, specifically long duration of exposed barren land until construction completed; construction practices; and construction on old landslides or previously modified sloping lands, had significantly contributed to the causal factor of the landslides. The humid tropical and fertile soil in Malaysia that promotes thick vegetation regrowth to the extent of resembling a primary forest-cover might have hindered detection of modified lands during for new construction. Thus, this study suggested that, in addition to climatic-induced and geological factors namely weathered granitic terrain and lithological relicts as predisposing factors, these landslides were also attributed by human disturbed terrain from multiple land-use changes. The site is an example of human-induced landslide disasters from the consequence of land use management and during-construction practices. Kajian ini meninjau kembali fenomena tanah runtuh Bukit Antarabangsa, iaitu kawasan perbukitan di Ampang Jaya yang telah mengorbankan 65 nyawa pada sekitar tahun 1990 hingga 2010. Antara tanah runtuh tersebut ialah runtuhan Kondominium Highland Towers, Banglo Taman Hillview dan perumahan Taman Bukit Mewah. Kes-kes kejadian ini diteliti secara perspektif rantau bersama-sama dengan data tambahan baharu. Hasilnya, didapati banyak penunjuk yang menyokong bahawa permukaan bumi kawasan perbukitan ini telah diganggu dan diubahsuai oleh manusia sejak 50 tahun lepas sebelum tercetusnya tanah runtuh, terutamanya faktor degradasi mengikut masa seperti tanah terbiar gondol untuk satu tempoh yang panjang dari mula pembinaan sehingga siap; amalan pembinaan; dan pembinaan atas tapak cerun yang mempunyai sejarah tanah runtuh atau yang pernah terubahsuai. Faktor iklim khatulistiwa dan kesuburan tanah yang menggalakkan pertumbuhan semula vegetasi secara padat dan pantas untuk kembali kepada keadaan seakan-akan hutan primer pada permukaan juga menyebabkan tanda-tanda kesan gangguan masa lampau sukar dikesan. Justeru itu, kajian ini menyimpulkan, selain daripada faktor pencetus hujan dan geologi seperti terain granit terluluhawa dan struktur batuan, faktor terain terganggu yang tercetus oleh aktiviti manusia turut menjadi punca penyebab tanah runtuh yang utama. Kawasan ini juga adalah satu contoh yang menunjukkan bencana tanah runtuh cetusan manusia di mana impak daripada evolusi amalan semasa-pembinaan dan pengurusan guna tanah tidak terselia telah menyumbang kepada kejadian tanah runtuh.

The most extensive damage incurred by the landslide at Kundasang, Ranau, Sabah occurred at the Kundasang National Secondary School. A detailed engineering geological mapping of the school area was carried out to ascertain the causing factor for the ground instability and the extent of damage on several man-made structures. The results show that the instability arises from movement of two large scale landslide systems designated previously as K2 and KS. The school straddles the boundary between these two landslide systems which form a part of the large Kundasang Landslide Complex.

Kerosakan paling meluas akibat gelinciran tanah di Kundasang, Sabah berlaku di kawasan Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Kundasang dalam daerah tersebut. Pemetaan geologi kejuruteraan terperinci telah dilakukan di kawasan sekolah untuk menentukan faktor penyebab ketakstabilan tanah dan kerosakan pada beberapa struktur binaan. Hasil pemetaan menunjukkan ketakstabilan berpunca daripada pergerakan pada dua sistem gelinciran tanah berskala besar yang dinamakan sebagai K2 dan KS. Tapak sekolah ini terletak pada sempadan antara dua sistem tersebut yang juga merupakan sebahagian daripada kesatuan gelinciran tanah yang lebih besar yang dinamakan Kompleks Gelinciran Tanah Kundasang.

Runtuhan tanah merupakan suatu proses geomorfologi yang biasa berlaku di kawasan beriklim tropika. Sehubungan itu, satu kajian telah dilakukan bagi menentukan tahap kebolehruntuhan tanah di cerun-cerun bermasalah di sekitar kampus Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Bangi. Sebanyak 12 lokasi cerun bermasalah terlibat dalam kajian ini. Skala ROM digunakan sebagai asas dalam menentukan tahap kebolehruntuhan tanah cerun bermasalah di kampus UKM, Bangi. Hasil kajian menunjukkan empat (P3, P6, P8 dan P9) lokasi cerun mempunyai tahap kebolehruntuhan tanah yang Kritikal, tiga (P4, P6 dan P7) dikategorikan sebagai Tinggi, tiga lagi Sederhana (P2, P5 dan P12) dan dua (P1 dan P11) sebagai Rendah. Komposisi tekstur tanih yang didominasi oleh pasir dan kelodak didapati sangat mempengaruhi tahap kebolehruntuhan tanah di setiap lokasi persampelan. Sehubungan itu, beberapa cerun bermasalah di sekitar kawasan kampus yang belum dimitigasi perlu dipulihkan segera bagi mengelak kemungkinan kejadian ...

Landslide is one of the major disasters that occur in Malaysia. Despite various initiatives undertaken by the government to reduce their occurrences, landslide incidents continue to occur, resulting in loss of life and property. The development process coupled with climate change increases the risk of landslides. This manuscript briefly looks at the causal factors of landslides and identifies requirements for landslide risk management to identify options to strengthen landslide risk management in Peninsular Malaysia. Risk management encompassing identification of hazards, vulnerabilities and exposure of elements can prevent landslides from becoming a disaster. The study conducted, noted that the present approach in landslide disaster management has not fully incorporated the landslide disaster risk management approach. Key aspects such as legislation, institutions, zoning of disaster risk areas, risk transfer mechanisms and financial allocations require serious consideration. The de...

Geologically Cameron Highlands was formed by a granite batholith intruding into the older sedimentary rocks. Intrusion of this acidic igneous rock formed metasedimentary rocks and other metamorphic rocks as roof pendants. The schist had been highly weathered, coloured bright grey to dark grey having fine to medium size grains with an obvious foliation. Meanwhile the granitic rock is composed of quartz, feldspar and biotite and/or tourmaline grains. Most of the road slopes cut across the granite body and slope instability survey was carried out based on type of failure, geometry and physico-chemical properties of soil slopes. Field observations showed that most of the failed slopes were soil slopes, and the slip that occurred were either shallow slip or deep slide types. Among the factors that influenced slope instability were slope geometry such as slope height and steep slope gradient, friable features of the weathering profile and the lack of surface vegetation cover. This rendere...

The Impact Of Landslide On Property Market (Case Study: Bukit Antarabangsa)
This research is aim to identify the impact of landslide on property market. Bukit Antarabangsa has been chosen as the case study. The data for this research were obtained using two methods, literature review and quantitative analysis approach. The questionnaire was designed to test the existing knowledge on landslide, to identify the level of awareness towards landslide and the perception of house buyers towards landslide prone area. The sample was selected from Bukit Antarabangsa and its surrounding neighbourhood. Descriptive analysis was used to analyse the data obtained statistic through frequency, percentage and cross tabulation. Pie chart, graph and table are used to illustrate the data obtained. Correlation method is used to identify the relation between variables. The data are also explained and correlated with the previous research. The results revealed that the level of awareness and understanding towards landslide among the house buyer have been increased due to sufficient amount of knowledge with regards to landslide. People are showing positive attitude towards landslide prone area despite knowing the risk of a territory with such condition. People believe that the current market condition is stable and they continue to invest in landslide prone area.

A Study on the Contributing Factors of Major Landslides in Malaysia
Landslide is one of the most prominent geo-hazard that accounts for colossal losses every year. The contributing factors of landslides in Malaysia are reasonably different from rest of the world. According to a study, the most dominant factor that catalysis the slope failure in many countries of the world is geological conditions. However, in case of Malaysia; most of the landslides occur as a consequence of flawed design, improper construction and non-maintenance of slopes which correlates with the human errors. The statistics of Malaysia shows that highest number of landslides took place in 1996 with 71 cases which is followed by 68 cases in 1995. According to the findings of Highland Towers (1993) landslide, the main causes of failure were inaccuracies in design, poor supervision during the construction and inadequate drainage system. Similarly, in case of Taman Hillview and Bukit Antarabangsa landslide, it has been revealed that improper design practices and poor drainage system supplemented with prolonged rain were the significant causes of the cataclysm. Therefore, based on the investigations on retrospective landslides, this study proposes to incorporate Human Reliability Assessment technique as a part of working strategy for slopes along with strong adherence to the design guidelines in order to minimize the likelihood of landslides.
