Slope Failure Initiation

Slope Failure Initiation is a geomechanical process that marks the onset of instability in a hillslope, characterized by the exceedance of shear stress over shear strength along a potential failure surface due to rainfall-induced changes in pore water pressure and soil moisture conditions.
