Slope Failure Models

Slope failure models are tools used to understand and predict when a hillside or slope might collapse or slide due to factors like water, weather, or weak materials. They analyze how various forces—such as gravity, soil strength, and water pressure—interact to cause instability. By simulating different conditions, these models help engineers identify areas at risk of landslides, improve safety, and design preventative measures. Essentially, they provide a scientific way to forecast and manage slope-related hazards before they happen.
