“…Vegetation plays a significant role in natural slope stability (Stokes et al 2009;Fan and Lai 2013;Das et al 2018;Zhu and Zhang 2019). Many natural slopes are covered with vegetation, which can change soil suction and shear strength affect the slope stability (Greenwood et al 2004;Rees and Ali 2012;Ni et al 2018;Wu et al 2022) Slope stability analysis is a classical issues of geotechnical engineering (Botero et al 2020;Khorsandiardebili and Ghazavi 2021). There are three methods to analyze slope stability: limit equilibrium methods (LEMs) (Hammouri et al 2008;Zhou and Cheng 2013), limit analysis methods (LAMs) (Li et al 2021;Khoshzaban et al 2021), and numerical simulation methods (NSMs) (Dyson and Tolooiyan 2019; Meng et al 2019).…”

“…Among various human engineering activities, slope excavation engineering is one of the most commonly seen activities triggering landslides [9][10][11]. The slope excavation-induced landslides are usually characterized by translational movement, where the rock slopes are prone to slides along the 2 bedding planes of underlying strata aligned in a subparallel manner to topography [12][13][14][15].…”

Translational rockslides caused by toe excavation are one of the commonly seen geohazards in mountainous regions due to line traffic construction. Quantifying their failure extension length (FEL) and travel distance are of significant interest as well as huge challenges in landslide hazard assessment. In this paper, a simple criterion is proposed for predicting these two factors based on the principles of rigid body limit equilibrium and kinetic energy theorem. Further, the proposed criterion is validated against the field observations and numerical results with a practical case of the Xinjianan landslide, a medium-sized translational rockslide that occurred in 2013 in Nanchuan District, Chongqing. The findings indicate that a tiny discrepancy can be found in FEL between the field observations and the proposed criteria, while this discrepancy could be considerable in travel distance between different methods. However, the relative discrepancies all fall within 20%, deemed acceptable.

This paper focusses on the hydromechanics of flora in the stabilization of soils. Slopes in rocks and soils are founding in physical and manmade conditions. Stockpiles, canals, levee, dams and highways are structured through the slopping of lateral faces in soils since a slope is typically cost effective compared to structuring walls. Physical forces e.g. water and winds transform the earth’s topography and other planets, typically forming unstabilized slopes. Flora is considered one of the initiatives considered in the control and prevention of landslides that are shallow and ones occurring during rainy seasons. Vegetation application for the stabilization of slopes is identified as soil bioengineering. Knowledge of flora contribution, in this paper, will be reflected on a case area of Kedah (Northwestern part of Peninsular Malaysia). The aspect of bioengineering i.e. mechanical and hydrological aspects will be applied. The effects of hydromechanical of flora on the stability of slopes are to minimize the content of soil water through evapotranspiration, interception and transpiration. Mechanical implication of flora on slope stabilization is to stabilize slopes to reinforce it mechanically.
