The Stability Studies of Soil Slope under the Action of Short-Time Heavy Rainfall

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on the saturated-unsaturated seepage theory and the unsaturated shear strength, the numerical simulations of soil slope seepage field in short-time heavy rainfall was carried out, and on this basis calculated the slope safety coefficient at different rainfall time. The research shows that: the rainfall infiltration will cause the slope soil matrix suction decreased or even disappeared which leads to the slope shear strength reduce; Rainwater infiltration increases the transient water load of infiltration area; and under the dual role of matrix suction reduction and transient water load increasing, the slope safety coefficient has the downward trend obviously.
