Abstract :
Assuming slope failures of weathered soil to be shallow sliding under heavy rainfall, an infinite slope model for slope stability analysis is proposed, in which the infiltration depth is explicitly expressed by time and the seepage force is taken into account. Comparative study on the influence of parameters is conducted, which shows that matric suction plays an insignificant role in slope stability while comparing to the slope angle and infiltration depth.
