Kinematic Analysis of Landslides: A Case Study Along JerashAmman High

One of the important environmental issues and structural and engineering phenomena in on the earth is the landslide that which are is considered also one of the biggest threats worldwide that hit mountainous and highland areas. Therefore, the current study was carried out in nine measurement stations along Jerash- Amman highway, to analyze the landslides by means ofthrough stereographic projection or kinematic analysis. Results show that the dominant type of the rock slope failure is the wedge failure which is observed in the first five stations of the study area. Stations 1, 2, 5, and 9 showed a toppling failure, while stations 2, 3, 4, and 5 showed planar failure. The circular failure is only found in station 9. Structural control of most of these landslides was inferred through this study.
