Abstract: Rainfalls and soak often lead to landslides of soil slopes. Undoubtedly the lost of part of matric suction is one of the most important factors. Through tests and numeral computationes, it is shown that the matric suction plays an important role in slope stability. But to make certain one of the key parameters in unsaturated soils needs further researches.

Key words: unsaturated soil, matric suction, slope stability, soil-water characteristic curve
