  • The Green-Ampt infiltration model and infinite slope stability model are adopted here to estimate the reoccurrence time of road side slope failure during typhoon in Taiwan. The proposed model is verified with the results obtained from landslides cases in literatures. The ability of proposed model to estimate the initiation time of failure has been verified with deterministic analysis for Tuscany (Italy) and Tung Chung East (Hong Kong) cases, and probabilistic analysis for Boso Peninsula (Japan) and Tungmen (Taiwan) landslides cases. In general, the proposed model is acceptable to be applied for estimating the time of failure and depth of sliding surface of a slope.
    By coupling with the probabilistic analysis, a probability-threshold rainfall model to predict the occurrence time of landslides during typhoon is proposed here in terms of hourly rainfall intensity and accumulated rainfall. By using the rainfall records, the failure probability of slope can be calculated from the model. If the failure probability is greater than 0.5, slope is very likely to fail. Otherwise, slope is unlikely to fail. To verify the suitability of the proposed model, some landslide cases reported in the literature are selected and modeled. In general, the results are satisfactory and the applicability of the proposed model as an 'early-warning system' for typhoon induced roadside slope failure is promising. However, since the database used in this model is mainly based on the information gathered from failed roadside slopes, so it is suggested that the model proposed here is only used to predict the occurrence time of reactivated landslides in the area with previous landslide records.
