Slope failures have become one of the most frequent natural hazards all over the world. Rainfall-induced slope failure is a common problem in many tropical areas that are covered by residual soils. Recent Landslide failures in Wayanad (Kerala) and Uttarakhand are the unfortunate examples of the same.

Furthermore, the rapid growth of regional economies has resulted in a tremendous demand for hillside developments involving engineered and fill slopes. Rainfall-induced slope failures can pose a potential danger to infrastructures and public safety.

Thus, considering contemporary problems being faced in slope failures, we have come up with a Hands on Workshop for the topic’ Rainfall Induced Slope Stability ‘ where we shall be using SRM method to determine factor of safety and other numerical modelling aspects for safety assessment of the soil strata.
