Rainfall infiltration affects the stability of dam slopes significantly. This paper studies the changes in the instability probability and the factor of safety of earth dam slopes during rainfall with different patterns. The influences of the maximum intensity, duration and total precipitation of the rainfall on the instability probability and the factor of safety are investigated. The results show that the instability probability of the dam slope increases at first and reaches a maximum value after some time then decreases with time. Generally, the instability probability increases with the increase in the maximum intensity, the duration and the total precipitation of the rainfall. These analyses provide some references for the dam safety evaluation considering rainfall infiltration.
