Evaluation of Performance of Engineered Slopes under Extreme Rainstorms
Rainfall is a major cause of slope failures. As rainstorms become more frequent and intense over time due to climate change, the reliability of a large number of existing engineered slopes under extreme rainstorms is of great concern to the public. This study develops a weighted bilinear correlation between the failure frequency of engineered slopes and the triggering rainfall intensity based on a comprehensive engineered slope database in Hong Kong in the past 30 years and evaluates the performance of engineered slopes under future extreme rainstorms. The correlation indicates that the rock cut slopes and soil cut slopes perform similarly, but the fill slopes and retaining walls have higher reliability than the cut slopes.
