Numerical Analysis and Implications of Fluctuating Water Levels on Slope Stability
Soil slopes are vulnerable to water level changes resulting from environmental factors such as precipitation, drainage, terrain, adverse weather, or human activities. Changing water tables on slopes can cause landslides by adapting the soil’s and slope’s stability. When the water table raises, it can saturate underlying soil, making it bulkier, diminishing the strength on the slope and making it more prone to collapse. Moreover, this causes a decrease of shear strength, which is the restriction to sliding down a plane beneath the soil, culminating in a landslide. Slope failures and bank erosion may result in the release of trees and other plants, as well as bank landslides. A numerical analysis of the impact of altering water level on slope stability is done. This article investigates slope stability by calculating factor of safety utilizing “SLOPE/W” by “Geostudio” software to demonstrate the influence of the presence of water table and its parametric variation, as well as its validation using the PLAXIS(2D) finite element approach. The findings show that this technique presented a simple and efficient tool for analyzing water level-induced slope stability.
