Hydro-mechanical Analysis of Rainfall-Induced Landslides
Most landslides are triggered by rainfall. In previous studies, slope stability is often evaluated based on the infiltration analysis. Hydro-mechanical coupling is significant to rainfall-caused landslide evolution. This book covers theoretical models of

Foreword
The book entitled “Hydro-mechanical Analysis of Rainfall-Induced Landslides” by Lizhou Wu, Runqiu Huang, and Xu Li is a welcomed addition to the literature that offers rigorous solutions to the challenging issue of rain-induced landslides. Many countries face geological hazards related to slope instability triggered by rainfall. There is a need to bring together a number of physically-based disciplines to provide an engineered approach to address slope failure mechanisms. Because of the complexity of rainfall-induced landslides, the problem has been a challenge for geotechnical engineers for more than a half century. Many researchers in the world are still working on it. Professors Lizhou Wu, Runqiu Huang, and Xu Li are some of them. In this book, the authors present many creative studies on rainfall infiltration principle using coupled analytical analysis, and on slope failure mechanisms usin
