Stability Analysis of High Filling Slope Affected by Precipitation Intensity

Article Preview

Abstract:

Aiming at researching on stability of slope affected by precipitation intensity, transient saturated-unsaturated seepage finite element method and slope stability finite element method are combined in this paper. Vadose field of slope is simulated in different precipitation intensity. Based on vadose field, the writers analyzed the stability of slope affected by precipitation intensity. The research results indicate that water is brought together in the interface first. Then the water level moves toward up and down respectively from the both sides of the interface. On the basis of saturated-unsaturated seepage theory, precipitation intensity has little effect on the slope stability in the first 6 hours after precipitation. After that, slope safety coefficient is relatively high when precipitation intensity is smaller, and vice versa.
