Rainfall-Induced Soil Slope Failure: Stability Analysis and Probabilistic Assessment

by Jinhui Li, Jie Zhang, Hong Zhu, et al.

Book Overview

Rainfall-induced landslides are common around the world. With global climate change, their frequency is increasing and the consequences are becoming greater. Previous studies assess them mostly from the perspective of a single discipline--correlating landslides with rainstorms, geomorphology and hydrology in order to establish a threshold prediction value for rainfall-induced landslides; analyzing the slope's stability using a geomechanical approach;...
