Description
Summary:We investigate in this article the impact of soil water saturation on the slope stability, using a site in Tomsk city as a case study. The dependency of the shear strength parameters of soil on the degree of soil water saturation has been demonstrated. The paper also provides equations for the calculation of slope stability coefficient under different values of soil water saturation.
