Slope Stability Models

Slope stability models are tools used to assess the likelihood of a slope or hillside collapsing or sliding. They analyze the balance between forces that hold the soil or rock in place (like friction and cohesion) and forces that push it downhill (like gravity and water pressure). By examining factors such as slope angle, material type, water presence, and structural features, these models predict whether a slope is stable or at risk of failure. This helps engineers and geologists design effective mitigation measures to prevent landslides and ensure safety.
