Numerical analysis of the stability of inhomogeneous slopes considering partially saturated conditions

It is well accepted that rainfall could play a significant role in instability of slopes. The main objective of the presented study is to quantify the influence of varying characteristics of water flow, its associated changes of pore-water pressures and shear strength on the stability of simplified,...
