Subgrade Stability Analysis with Rainfall Infiltration

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on limit equilibrium method, the subgrade stability formula under rainfall infiltration is derived and the influence of matric suction on subgrade stability is analyzed using the safety coefficient formula. What’s more, the affection of rainfall intensity, duration and soil permeability on subgrade stability is studied and the influences is obtained. The presented research provides the theory basis to controlling of rainfall infiltration.
