Landslides are natural hazards that are commonly
observed in nature. They generally cause loss of life and
property, because they can severely damage engineering
structures such as dams, highways, railways, pipelines,
and buildings. The potential zones of landslides need
to be specified and their failure mechanisms need to
be understood to mitigate the effects of landslides on
societies, economies, and industries. Therefore, potential
landslide zones need attention, specifically for engineering
structures with large investment values. The identification of zones with a high potential risk of the occurrence
of landslides is essential to avoid possible losses due to
landslides. An analysis of the landslide susceptibility of
potential areas results in the safer application and performance of engineering projects, and it helps engineers to
take important measures regarding potential landslide
damage. In this paper, a landslide failure that occurred
during the construction of the transmission line of the
Kars Dam is presented and possible measurements to
avoid landslide damage on the transmission line are
investigated. Slope-stability analyses were performed
using the limit-equilibrium method, and as a result of the
analysis, two different engineering solutions are proposed
to avoid landslide movements. A cost analysis for the
proposed solutions is also made to specify the optimum
solution by considering both safety and costs
