Study of the Effects of Rainfall Infiltration on Stability of Geocell Protection of Slope

Article Preview

Abstract:

Geocell protection of slope was influenced by environment and climates largely. Many of them came to failure when subjected to rainfall infiltration. Aiming at the general shear failure mode of the geocell-protection-system (GPS), its stability analysis model during rainfall was established by the limit equilibrium method. A new approach of evaluating stability of the GPS was proposed.
