Analysis of the Relationship Between Stability of Fully Weathered Granite Landslides and Rainfall
Rainfall is the primary trigger for landslides. With China's disaster prevention efforts changing from post-disaster relief to pre-disaster prevention
and from disaster loss reduction to disaster risk mitigation
it is crucial to understand the triggering mechanisms for rainfall-induced disasters and establish effective early warning systems for geological disaster prevention and mitigation. To address the stability issues of rainfall-induced landslides in fully weathered granites
shear tests on in-situ soils with different moisture contents and large-scale physical similarity model tests were carried out in Qingdao's Lao Mountain area as an example. The slope's response to rainfall was revealed
the relationship between the stability of fully weathered granite landslides and rainfall was explored
and relevant quantitative formulas were fitted. Additionally
ABAQUS was used to establish a three-dimensional flow-solid coupled numerical model for the slope
validating the equations through the strength reduction method. The research results showed that: (1) Rainfall-induced fully weathered granite landslides failure progressed through four stages: infiltration and erosion → surface deformation → damage deepening → overall instability. The slope exhibited the phenomena of "drum-like bulge" and "sheet-like slipping" during the deformation period
and ended up with a translational slipping. (2) The slope's response to rainfall infiltration showed spatial variability
with greater rainfall intensity leading to faster increases in moisture content and pore pressure. (3) Based on the experimental results
formulas describing the relationship between landslide moisture content
safety factors
and rainfall intensity and duration were derived. Numerical simulation confirmed the accuracy of these formulas with minor deviation
accurately describing the quantitative relationship between landslide stability and rainfall. The results of the study provide insights on early warning and prevention strategies for landslides in areas with similar strongly to fully weathered granite.
