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