finite element method is employed to analyze the transient unsaturated seepage field existing in the residual slope deposit slope under rainfall infiltration and limit equilibrium technique is employed to analyze the seepage stability in this deposit slope.It analyzes the slope structure
free face
effects of rainfall on slope deformation and stabilization
as well as the process of predicting rainfall-induced landslides in residual soil slope.It is believed that the mechanism of rainfall-induced residual slope deposit landslide is:rainfall infiltration creates a weak layer in the residual slope deposit slope;toe excavation produces tensile cracks in the slope face;rainfall fills the slope cracks with water
causes slope soil saturation
reduces the shear strength
and generates hydrodynamic pressure
forms negative effect on the slope stabilization;when the slope sliding force is stronger than anti-slide force
