Research Collaboration Projects between NTU, Building Construction Authority (BCA) and Singapore Land Authority (SLA)

NTU is currently collaborating with BCA and SLA to carry out geostatistical analysis for development of the unsaturated property map of the residual soils within several zones of different geological formations in Singapore. The unsaturated soil zonation will be combined with the spatial distribution of antecedent rainfall to develop a slope susceptibility map. The developed Slope Susceptibility Map (SSM) can be used to enhance urban planning in Singapore and to provide a data base of critical slopes with low factor of safety in Singapore during wet periods. In addition, the SSM will allow targeted preventive measures be carried out to avoid slope failures that will cause damage to infrastructures and endanger public safety.
