Failure Mechanism of Unsaturated Volcanic Slopes Due to Rainfall and Freeze-Thaw Actions
Collapse of volcanic slopes induced by rainfall has been frequently induced in Hokkaido, Japan, especially the middle southern area. It has been known that volcanic slopes in Hokkaido have a strong potential to cause such failure. The objective of this study is to reveal failure mechanism of volcanic slopes caused by both rainfall and freeze-thaw actions. A series of model tests was performed on volcanic slopes having several moisture contents. In particular, the effect of freeze-thaw actions on mechanical behavior at failure was investigated detailedly.
