Abstract
Some cases of soil erosion, slope instability, mass movement of soil and damage to structures were observed in Navy and Coast Guard Area of Port Blair. Field and laboratory tests in the area were carried out which revealed that the area is unstable and prone to landslides. Main causes of instability are soil characteristics and poor subsoil drainage conditions. Some preventive measures, in the past were taken which have achieved limited success. Additional solutions based on latest technology and construction materials are suggested which shall be economical and eco-friendly.
