In October 2004, Typhoon No. 23 attached western part of Japan. causing severe damage to infrastructures over a wide area. In the early morning on 21 of October, a failure of large Terr Armee wall with the maximum height of about 23 m took place in mountainous area in Yabu city, Hyogo Prefecture. The flow debris from the reinforced embankment attached a warehouse on the foot, however, no casualties were reported. Immediately after the incident, a committee was set up with missions to investigate the cause of this catastrophic failure and also to examine any possible occurrence of further slope disasters in this region. In this paper, the mechanism with possible causes of the slope failure was discussed based on the results of stability analysis performed using laboratory and field data, coupled with topological information and the rainfall data. Some lessons learnt from this case record are described with reference to the construction of Terr Armee wall in rainy mountainous area.
