Stability Analysis of Slope in Kuranjeri During Kerala Flood 2018 Using PLAXIS-3D
Lakshmi Manohar, A. K. Vasudevan

Paper Summary

The researchers studied a landslide in Kuranjeri during the 2018 Kerala floods caused by heavy rainfall. They analyzed soil properties using PLAXIS-3D, a method to assess slope stability. The study compared traditional methods with advanced numerical analysis and found that water infiltration weakened the soil, leading to the slope failure.
