Application of neoweb for landslide prevention in northern mountainous areas

Abstract

The northern mountainous region of Vietnam frequently faces severe landslides, especially during the rainy and stormy seasons. Provinces such as Lào Cai, Yên Bái, Hà Giang, Sơn La, and Hòa Bình are considered high-risk areas, with hundreds of landslides occurring each year. These events cause serious damage to lives, property, infrastructure, and disrupt transportation and the daily lives of local communities. The primary causes stem from steep mountainous terrain, weak soil structure, and prolonged heavy rainfall that saturates the soil, weakens its cohesion, and makes it prone to slipping. Given this reality, it is essential to research and apply effective and sustainable landslide prevention solutions. Therefore, the study on "Application of Neoweb for Landslide Prevention in Northern Mountainous Areas" plays a crucial role. Neoweb enhances slope reinforcement, distributes loads, and improves drainage efficiency. It helps stabilize slopes, reduce water pressure, and minimize surface erosion
