Abstract
This paper describes a visco-plastic model which, using recorded groun dwater levels, is capable of simulating the velocity trend in landslid es. It also deals with the phenomenon of shear strength regain that oc curs in montmorillonitic clays constituting slopes during periods when landslides are stationary. The model has been validated with long-ter m observations of a clay slope affected by a mudslide.
