摘要: Seepage-induced fines migration under rainfall infiltration is a main cause leading to shallow failures in loose colluvial slopes. To describe the full process of within unsaturated soils during and associated hydro-mechanical behaviors, seepage-erosion-deformation coupled formulation proposed this paper. The governing equations are implemented into finite element code used investigate influences skeleton deformation on through soil columns. numerical results were presented detail for better understanding rainfall-induced soils. Further, obtained integrated an infinite slope model stability analysis. show that, will affect rate hence timing failures; meanwhile their more evident if deposition taken account. Moreover, could be reduced gradually due strength loss along with fine particles. Therefore, particular attentions should paid analyzing slopes susceptible internal erosion.
