Paper approaches the problem of considering the unsaturation of soils above water table in the slope stability analysis, condition for obtaining realistic results in both cases of rainfall infiltrating into the soil mass and drainage for improving soil stability. It presents in its first part a brief review methods related to unsaturated stress analysis applied for slope stability analysis, such as Unsaturated phi-b, Unsaturated Fredlund, Unsaturated Vanapalli, Unsaturated Khalili and Unsaturated Vilar model. These methods are estimating in different manners the shear strength depending on soil unsaturated conditions. These methods are applied in the second part of the paper in a case study, presenting a site affected by landslides located in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. For the slope stabilization a siphon drain system has been proposed and installed. An experimental program started and is ongoing on site, compromising site monitoring of suction using jet fill tensiometers and laboratory testing. Site measurement of suction in presence of drainage system was used for perform slope stability analysis using SVSlope software and the embedded methods for estimating the increase in soil shear strength when passing from saturated to unsaturated state.
