Abstract

A comprehensive model was presented in stability analysis for foreseeing shallow landslides induced by rainfall. It contains almost all the current popular models based on an infinite slope. The wet layer can be saturated or unsaturated and the stabilizing forces and destabilizing forces are derived for both cases separately. The effectivity and adaptivity of the presented model were verified by two practical applications.
