Abstract
In September 2007, lots of slope collapses and landslides were occurred in Southern Jeolla Province in Korea due to heavy rain that was accompanied by Typhoon "Nari". The investigated slope is one of the areas affected by the typhoon. The Slope is 20m in length and has a maximum height of 22m. The slopes are made of pyroclastic rocks with highly developed faults and cracks while the residual soil is made of a yellowish mudstone layer which was a result of severe chemical and physical weathering.
