Slope stability refers to the condition of inclined soil or rock slopes to withstand or undergo movement.The stability condition of slopes is a subject of study and research in soil mechanics, geotechnical engineering and engineering geology. Slope stability analyses include static and dynamic, analytical or empirical methods to evaluate the stability of earth and rock-fill dams, embankments ... The development of 2D and 3D numerical modelling of debris movement has greatly enhanced the capability of assessing debris influence zones and design of the corresponding risk mitigation works. A benchmarking exercise on landslide debris mobility modelling was held in December 2007 in Hong Kong during the International Forum on Landslide Disaster Management ( Hungr et al., 2007 )....
