TRIGRS—A FORTRAN PROGRAM FOR TRANSIENT RAINFALL INFILTRATION AND GRID-BASED REGIONAL SLOPE-STABILITY ANALYSIS, VERSION 2.0 (2008)

The Transient Rainfall Infiltration and Grid-BasedRegional Slope-Stability Model (TRIGRS) is a Fortran program designed for modeling the timing and distribution of shallow, rainfall-induced landslides. The program computes transient pore-pressure changes, and attendant changes in the factor of safety, due to rainfall infiltration. The program models rainfall infiltration, resulting from storms that have durations ranging from hours to a few days, using analytical solutions for partial differential equations that represent one-dimensional, vertical flow in isotropic, homogeneous materials for either saturated or unsaturated conditions.
