A rain-induced landslide has occured in Guyon Village, Tengklik Tawangmangu District Karanganyar Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia on February 2009. The movement was initiated by crack occurrence, 30 cm in depth and 2 meter in length. Such crack continuously developed in depth, extention and numbers, until then it resulted in land subsidence up to 260 cm in depth. Accordingly, ten houses were damaged and ten of families must be evacuated. This subsidence is very potential to further grow and create more consequences for human life and houses / land damage. Therefore, this research is carried out to understand the influence of geological factors and rainfall to the landslide phenomena. This research conducted engineering geology investigation such as mapping, drilling, insitu test, XRD test, soil mechanic test and slope stability analysis by limit equilibrium method i.e. Seep/W and Slope/W. By those research activities, the cause and mechanism of landslide can be understood. Rainfall characteristics which triggered such landslide can also be identified. Based on those investigations, it is found that the landslide occurred in slow rate sliding (creep) due to the control of slope stratigraphy conditions and gentle slope inclination, which is induced by rainfall. Stratigraphy condition that plays important role in landslide mechanism are the permeable layers consisted of sandy silt (shear strength 12 kPa) and silty sandstone (shear strength 18 kPa) overlaid above impermeable andesite breccia (shear strength 104 kPa). Undulating slope may induce landslide in creep rotational type. Based on slope stability simulation, it is known that rainfall triggered landslide is rainfall 20 mm/ day average precipitation in 55 days and rainfall 20 mm/ day average precipitation in 49 days followed by one day with 178 mm/ day average precipitation. Keywords: Landslides, slope stability

For geotechnical and environmental reasons, landfills are positioned above the regional water table and thus are formed in unsaturated conditions. This condition can be different if the drainage system and the rain regime of the site are such that they create a level of internal liquid in the landfill. During January and February 2019, excessive movements occurred in the slopes of the Brasília sanitary landfill. A geotechnical investigation indicated that the raised leachate level caused by the clogging of the drainage system contributed to the landfilled waste movements. The limit equilibrium analysis was used to predict the relationship between leachate level and slope stability. In order to understand the process that led to the rupture, flow and stability analysis by limit equilibrium were performed. The parameters associated with flow, water retention capacity, and shear strength were obtained based on literature evaluations. In addition, data from tests were used, which allowed to define more accurately the distribution of pore pressures of liquid that led to the failure. This study allowed to define the cause of failure and also to establish the role of the drainage system in maintaining the stability of the landfill. The studies indicated that although the gain of shear strength of landfill due to the unsaturated condition is negligible, the process of flow in unsaturated medium, associated with climatic aspects, are fundamental for a medium- and long-term analysis.

Under the background of ecological civilization construction and comprehensive promotion of "green mine" construction in China, for the waste dump formed by a large amount of abandoned soil and slag in the process of mineral resource production, it is one of the important contents of mine ecological restoration to restore and reconstruct the ecology, especially the slope vegetation. Based on the origin of the dump, when rainfall or irrigation water infiltrates into the soil, the physical and mechanical properties of slope soil are changed, and the shear strength of soil is continuously reduced, which has a negative impact on the slope stability. In this paper, we take south mining of DaTang open-pit mine as an example, through field investigation and sampling, laboratory analysis and the computer software analysis method, we set up soil shear strength parameters under different soil water content and different depth of plant roots, using the Slope stability of Slope/W module, establishing the model of slope . Based on limit equilibrium theory to calculate the safety factor, it is concluded that under the condition of the bare Slope stability of Slope soil water safety threshold is 14%. The root system of slope vegetation plays an important role in slope stability, in which the effect of leguminous vegetation on slope stability is obviously better than that of gramineous vegetation. When the soil moisture of slope is 20%, the slope stability coefficient can be increased by 7%.

A commodity, such as iron ore fines, shifting in the hold of a bulk carrier can lead to the vessel listing or capsizing. The objective of this study is to investigate the factors of safety pertaining to slope failure for both untrimmed and trimmed cargoes of iron ore fines during marine transportation. To determine the shear strength parameters needed to perform this analysis, triaxial testing was performed on samples of iron ore fines under varying densities and moisture contents. Using the shear strength parameters of the material, the Morgenstern–Price method of slices and infinite slope analysis, referred to as rotational and translational slope stability analyses, were used to determine the factors of safety against slope failure. The study concludes that, considering a factor of safety of 1.5, an untrimmed cargo of iron ore fines is unstable at angles of heel that bulk carriers are expected to experience during a typical voyage. If the cargo is trimmed it is shown to be significantly more stable. Results support the recommendation that it become mandatory for cargoes of iron ore fines to undergo trimming to reduce the chance of slope failure occurring, which may result in the loss of human life and industry assets.

On 22 February 2018 landslide occurred in Pasir Panjang Village, Salem District, Brebes Regency of Central Java Province, Indonesia. About 8 people were died, 4 people were injured and several infrastructures were damaged due to this landslide. This research is carried out to understand geological-geotechnical condition and to study the initiation mechanism of the landslide. Field investigation and UAV mapping are carried out to detect slip surface and define slope geometry. The rainfall-induced pore-water pressure is estimated by using the Slope Infiltration Distributed Equilibrium (SLIDE) model. Then, limit equilibrium method is used to estimate the safety factor of the slope, while the shear strength parameters are determined by applying back analysis approach that compared with data from laboratory tests. The results show that landslide occurred in permeable layer of silty sand overlaid above impermeable andesitic breccia. Results from back analysis indicate that the shear strength parameters and rainfall intensity are strongly influence the stability of slope against landslide.

Assessment and analysis of soil slope stability is an important part of geotechnical engineering at all times. This paper examines the assessment of soil slope stability in fine-grained soils. The effect of change in shear strength (τ), shear stress (σ) and slope angle (β) on the factor of safety has been studied. It correlates shear strength with slope angle and shear stress by considering the horizontal seismic coefficients in both saturated and unsaturated conditions. The slope failure surface was considered a circular slip surface. Statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) and Slide, numerical modeling software and limit equilibrium slope stability analysis software, respectively, are used to find out the correlations between the three basic parameters. The slope angle varied from 70 to 88 degrees, which are the most critical values for slope angles, and a total of 200 analyses were performed. τ, β and σ are correlated, and the correlations are provided in the results section. The results indicate that the correlations developed between the parameters have a very close relationship. The applicability of the developed equations is above 99%. These correlations are applicable in any type of soil slope stability analysis, where the value of shear strength and factor of safety is required with the variation of slope angle and shear stress.

This paper discusses a method of soil suitability estimation for housing purposes in landslide-prone areas based on engineering geological criteria. The studied places, Karya and Neo Souli villages are located on the eastern part of the city of Patras. Several instability problems were identified triggered by heavy rainfalls, especially during extreme meteorological events. The soil formations were classified in several geotechnical units while typical geotechnical profiles and slip sections were drawn. Limit equilibrium slope stability analyses were established in order to investigate the critical slide conditions, using shear strength parameters estimated from laboratory and in-situ testing. The studied area was finally divided into five zones according to the suitability of the encountered ground regarding housing purposes
