Computational investigation of the stability of natural slopes within a coupled hydro-mechanical approach becomes more and more attractive due to an increasing number of slope movements caused by heavy rainfall events. Seasonal cycles of summer drying and winter-spring wetting affect the stability and serviceability of natural and man-made slopes, threatening lives and property worldwide. Heavy rainfall will increase the soil moisture content and lead to a reduction in suction and a consequent weakening of the soil. As a result, the slope may fail either in a diffused or in a localized pattern. The localization process is a classical mode of mechanical instability and is described as the concentration of shear strains in narrow bands with...
