Slope Stability Analysis Based on Analytical and Numerical Solutions

Abstract

AbstractInfiltration into soil slopes is a fundamental concern in civil engineering. Rainfall infiltration leads to changes in pore-water pressure and reduces matric suction in soils, making it one of the main triggers of slope failure (Ali et al. in Comput Geotech 61:341–354, 2014; Wu et al. in Hydro-mechanical analysis of rainfall-induced landslides. Springer, 2020). Slope instabilities caused by water infiltration are called rainfall-induced landslides (Xu and Zhang in Landslides 7:149–156, 2010; Wu et al. in Hydro-mechanical analysis of rainfall-induced landslides. Springer, 2020).
