Hydro-Mechanical Simulations of Unsaturated Soil Slope

Rainfall-induced landslides, which are frequent in various parts of the world, cause a substantial loss in infrastructure and are always a risk to public safety. The assessment of such landslides is critical, and therefore, the effect of rainfall on unsaturated soil slope is modeled, and the results of numerical simulations are presented in this paper. Coupled hydro-mechanical simulations are performed using the elastoplastic Barcelona Basic...
