摘要
Many prediction methods for rainfall induced slope failures have so far been proposed but their application in an effective way is yet to be practiced. Predicting any natural disaster has always been a challenging task to the engineers. Only 10 minutes before the occurrence of a soil disaster will be more than sufficient to save, if not the property, the human life. So as a prediction method for rainfall induced slope failures by critical rainfall criterion, measurement of suction due to unsaturated state of soil mass at a possible failure site was carried out. The data obtained were then utilized to establish initial conditions for the calculation of critical rainfall, which is a key to predict the rainfall-induced slope failure at a particular area.
