Physical Model Study of an Intermittent Rainfall-Induced Gently Dipping Accumulation Landslide
Many slope failures have been observed in deep-cutting gorges in Southwest China due to rainfall events. This study conducted model-based tests of the failure of a gently dipping accumulation slope caused by intermittent rainfall. The physical model was established by configuring soil samples based on similarity theory and direct shear test data. Intermittent rainfall was simulated by supplying surface runoff and bottom pressure water of the slope. The deformation, earth pressure, and pore pressure were observed during the test using a series of transducers. The results of this research showed that slope failure was first initiated at the toe of the slope. Staged sliding failure then occurred, which spread the unstable zone to the trailing edge of the slope. As infiltration of rainwater continued, the pore pressure increased and the matric suction and effective stress at the bedrock surface decreased, causing failure of the slope.
