Rainfall-Induced or Lake-Water-Level-Controlled Landslide? An Example from the Steep Slopes of Lake Balaton, Hungary

The present paper provides a case study and an overview of the stability high banks bordering eastern basin largest central European lake, Lake Balaton, in Hungary. External factors such as rain, lake-water level, or pore water pressure are considered analysis. slope was assessed using two software with different approximations calculation methods. results models Plaxis Rocscience Slide2 compared. One major identified failure scenarios is deep-seating rotational landslides that triggered by rain elevated groundwater table. modeled slip surfaces good agreement inclinometer monitoring data site; meanwhile, top failures not influenced level.
