Purpose of the paper is to present a scaled model of slope to study the infiltration process subjected to rainfall. To observe the infiltration process on slope, artificial rainfall is applied to model using sprinkler system at a rainfall intensity, ie, 133mm/h. Pore-water pressure (PWP) and displacements are measured using sensors, which are installed within the model at various locations to monitor the changes in suction. The aim is to study the slope movements of the soil water content, pore-water pressures and displacement with and without placing geotextile in the slope. The study tries to predict slope failure caused by monitoring these parameters. Based on these results, the time for first failure can be evaluated.
