Abstract

Global warming has generated rapid climate changes throughout the world. One of the consequences of climate change is rainfall events have become more intense and last longer in recent years. On the other hand, extreme heat during a dry period could lead to surface cracks in the soil. Studies showed the prolonged rainfall creates initial moisture which could triggers slope failures during or after intense rainfall. Previous study shows that rainfall-induced slope failure is the most common form of slope failure in areas covered by tropical residual soil where ground water table is very deep. The transient factor of safety is affected by both rainfall pattern and evaporation as well as the soil properties such as the soil water retention and the permeability. The presence of cracks speeds up the rainfall infiltration into the soil leading to development of failure plane. The focus of this study is to evaluate the effect of climate change on rainfall patterns and rainfall-induced slope instability through literature and a case study in the western part of South Sumatra. The study revealed that global warming caused an increase in the rainfall intensity especially in the city and industrial area. Moreover, the climate change also causes a transformation of rainfall patterns in terms of time and area. Therefore, rainfall scenarios causing landslides or slope failures also transform over time.
