Abstract: A slope failure occurred at NingboTaizhouWenzhou Expressway Station K1527+650 on August 8\+\{th\}, 2012 and the traffic was interrupted. This failure was triggered by the 11\+\{th\} strong typhoon "Haikui". Based on the field investigation and analysis, the failure mode was determined to be the surficial failure in the loose overburden materials. The emergency mitigation as well as the permanent stabilization measures were proposed and implemented.
