Some thoughts on rain-induced slope failures

The mechanism is discussed by which failures occur in
unsaturated soil slopes in which infiltration and pore suction
play major roles. It is suggested that the shear properties of the
slope material are most appropriately measured in the
laboratory by increasing the pore pressure while the total stres-
ses are maintained constant. It is hypothesized that compressive
and dilatant soils will behave quite differently under conditions
of water infiltration. For soils which fail slowly or for compres-
sive soils which fail rapidly, the controlling pore pressure
(suction) is probably entirely governed by the rate of infiltra-
tion. The stability of slopes in dilatant material, however, is
probably controlled by pore pressures which are both
infiltration-dependent and strain-dependent. Auth.

Evolution of slopes in over-consolidated clays

The stability of natural slopes in over-consolidated Italian clays
is investigated. The shearing resistance parameters have been
measured by laboratory tests, both on undisturbed and remoul-
ded samples, either in the fully softened or in the residual state.
Both first-time and periodical slides have been examined, the
back-computed angles of shearing strength are compared to the
measured ones. Auth.

Creep in alpine clayey formations (In French)
Dysli, M; Recordon, E
Proc lOth International Conference on Soil Mechanics and
Foundation Engineering, Stockholm, 15-19 June 1981 V3,
P395-400. Publ Rotterdam: A. ,4. Balkema, 1981
A study of landslides in Swiss alpine clay formations, due to
gravitational movement, has shown that the clay soils should be
considered as a viscous solid or liquid rather than as a rigid-
perfectly plastic solid. The constitutive laws so far proposed do
not, however, take viscous creep into account. A new cyclic
shear apparatus has been used and the first results are pre-
sented.

Three methods of slope stability analysis
Fedorovsky, V G; Freiberg, E A; Vasiljev, I M
Proc lOth International Conference on Soil Mechanics and
Foundation Engineering, Stockholm, 15-19 June 1981 V3,
P401-404. Publ Rotterdam: A. `4. Balkema, 1981
The first method is a variational method based on the assump-
tion that the Coulomb law and Kotter differential equation are
valid for stresses along the rupture line. The second method
deals with the plane problem for a heterogeneous slope
weakened along certain surfaces. The third method is a three
dimensional analysis for a heterogeneous slope with weak sur-
faces.

Relationship between limit equilibrium slope stability methods

P409-416. Publ Rotterdam: A. ,4. Balkema, 1981
Common methods for performing the two-dimensional limit
equilibrium method of slices are: the Fellenius method, the sim-
plified Bishop method, the Spencer method, the Janbu methods,
the force equilibrium methods, and the Morgenstern-Price
method. This paper presents a general limit equilibrium method
of slices and shows how these methods are special cases of the
general formulation. The paper also shows how the various
methods of slices can be extended to non circular slip surfaces.
Example problems are used to demonstrate the relationship bet-
wren the factors of safety from these methods.

How reliable are present methods of slope failure prediction?

P427-430. Publ Rotterdam: A. A. Balkema, 1981
The reliability of conventional slope failure prediction was ex-
amined by developing a relationship between the factor of
safety and the probability of failure. Actual soil data was used
and the results are presented in the form of nomographs.
