DRAINAGE OF ROADS AND SLOPES IN SIMLA - A CASE STUDY
In 1971, Simla suffered severe damages as a result of heavy and prolonged rainfall. Investigations showed that inadequate drainage was mainly responsible for the failure of roads and natural slopes. Based on an extensive survey of the existing drainage system, recommendations are put forward for the design and installation of an adequate drainage network. (TRRL)
