| Abstract | The increasing number of cut slopes in Hong Kong, its rugged topography, high population density and scarcity of land, in addition to the complex nature of the weathered rock masses and adverse climatic conditions, inevitably magnify the potential for cut slope failures. With the extension of residential and infrastructural development into the New Territories in Hong Kong, a large number of slopes are cut in weathered profiles derived from metasedimentary rocks. This paper reviews the engineering properties of the saprolitic soils in these profiles, presents case studies of the field performance of cut slopes, analyses possible mechanisms of instability and provides recommendations on the current local practice of remedial measures. Le nombre croissant déblais à Hong Kong entraîne inévitablement certains problèmes, pour les raisons suivantes: topographie accidentée, haute densité de la population et rareté du terrain disponible. A ceci s'ajoutent la nature complexe des masses rocheuses exposées aux intempéries ainsi que les conditions climatiques défavorables du territoire. Avec le développement de zones résidentielles et d'infrastructures dans les Nouveaux Territoires du nord de Hong Kong, un grand nombre de déblais sont réalisés dans des profils d'altération développés sur des roches métasédimentaires. Cet exposé analyse les propriétés mécaniques des sols saprolitiques de ces profils, présenter des cas concrets de déblais étudie les mécanismes potentiels d'instabilité et finalement propose des recommandations inspirées des pratiques locales pour traiter ces problèmes de stabilité. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
