A model for evaluation and prediction of landslide stability was established based on catastrophe progression method. According to the previous relative researches, the multi-level index system of landslide stability assessment was constructed, and four main internal factors including slide strength, slide feature, slide shape feature, latest activities of slide, and five main extrinsic factors including heavy rain effect, fluvial process, former overload, human activities, earthquake action, were selected as discriminating factors for the recognition of landslide stability; twenty-two actual ...
