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; or assessing the risk from field records.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eRainfall Induced Soil Slope Failure: Stability Analysis and Probabilistic Assessment \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eintegrates probabilistic approaches with the geotechnical modeling of slope failures under rainfall conditions with unsaturated soil. It covers theoretical models of rainfall infiltration and stability analysis, reliability analysis based on coupled hydro-mechanical modelling, stability of slopes with cracks, gravels and spatial heterogenous soils, and probabilistic model calibration based on measurement. It focuses on the uncertainties involved with rainfall-induced landslides and presents state-of-the art techniques and methods which characterize the uncertainties and quantify the probabilities and risk of rainfall-induced landslide hazards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, the authors cover: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe failure mechanisms of rainfall-induced slope failure\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCommonly used infiltration and stability methods\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe infiltration and stability of natural soil slopes with cracks and colluvium materials\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStability evaluation methods based on probabilistic approaches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe effect of spatial variability on unsaturated soil slopes and more\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu Zhang, Jinhui Li, Xu Li\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367139014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367139018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/14\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.82d","brand":"Lulu Zhang","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43919587770623,"sku":"9780367139018","price":89.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_12528bca-8d72-45bb-ba4b-225776609a3d.jpg?v=1680810227","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rainfall-induced-soil-slope-failure-lulu-zhang-9780367139018","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
