Paper Summary

The article discusses how rainfall can weaken soil on slopes, making them unstable. It explains a method to analyze slope stability under rainfall by using the concept of equivalent cohesion in unsaturated soil. This method, like the Bishop method, can help predict slope stability during rainfall.
