Effect of groundwater fluctuation, construction, and retaining system on slope stability of Avas Hill in Hungary

Landslides are one of the natural hazards, which have significant negative effects on both humans and the environment. Thus, slope stability analyses and stabilization processes are necessary to obviate or mitigate landslides. In this study, the effect of groundwater level fluctuations and the const...
