The Finite-Element Analysis of Characteristics of Soil Slope Seepage Field Change in Rainstorm Condition

Article Preview

Abstract:

A numerical model was built by Finite Element software,discussed the effect of rainfall on slope pore water pressure、volatile water content and depth of infiltration in rainstorm condition. The results indicated that: (1)the variation of slope surface pore water pressure is more significant and the depth of infiltration is larger with the increase of rainfall intensity on the condition of fixed rainfall duration;(2)The slope section appears three pore water pressure divisions: transient saturated zone、negative pressure region and hydrostatic pressure area after the rainfall.
