ABSTRACT
The stability of the limestone cliff
at Gunung Kandu, Gopeng, Perak, Malaysia was assessed based on the
Slope Mass Rating (SMR) system on 53 cross sections of the Gunung Kandu hill
slopes. The slopes of Gunung Kandu were identified as class I (very
good) to IV (poor). The kinematic analysis showed that 12 out of
53 hill slopes of Gunung Kandu were identified as having potential
wedge, planar and toppling failures. The assessment showed that
the stability of the western flanks can be classified as stable
to unstable with the probability of failure from 0.2 to 0.6. The
stability of the eastern and southern flanks range from very stable
to partially stable with the probability of failure from 0.0 to
0.4. While the stability of northern flanks are from very stable
to stable with the probability of failure of 0.0 - 0.2. This systematic
approach offers a practical method especially for large area of
rock slope stability assessment and the results from probability
of failure values will help engineers to design adequate mitigation
measures.

ABSTRAK
Kestabilan cerun batu kapur di Gunung
Kandu, Gopeng, Perak, Malaysia dinilai berdasarkan sistem Perkadaran
Jasad Cerun (SMR) terhadap 53 keratan rentas cerun bukit Gunung Kandu
dinilai dengan menggunakan Perkadaran Jasad Cerun (SMR).
Cerun Gunung Kandu dikenal pasti sebagai kelas I (sangat baik) kepada
IV (tidak baik). Analisis kinematik mendedahkan bahawa 12 daripada
53 cerun bukit Gunung Kandu yang telah dikenal pasti mempunyai ragam
kegagalan baji, satah dan keterbalikan. Penilaian ini mendedahkan
bahawa kestabilan bahagian tebing barat dikelaskan sebagai stabil
kepada yang tidak stabil dengan kebarangkalian kegagalan daripada
0.2 ke 0.6. Kestabilan bahagian tebing timur dan selatan adalah
daripada sangat stabil kepada separa stabil dengan kebarangkalian
kegagalan daripada 0.0 ke 0.4. Manakala kestabilan bahagian tebing
utara adalah sangat stabil sehingga stabil dengan kebarangkalian
kegagalan sebanyak 0.0 - 0.2. Pendekatan sistematik ini menawarkan
satu kaedah yang praktik terutamanya untuk penilaian kestabilan
tebing bukit yang luas dan keputusan kebarangkalian nilai kegagalan
akan membantu jurutera untuk mereka bentuk langkah mitigasi yang
lebih baik.
