Finite Element Method Based Analysis of an Unsaturated Soil Slop1 e 2 Subjected to Rainfall Infiltration

This study presents results from the finite element analysis of a well instrumented and monitored 11-m high cut slope in Zaoyang, Hubei, China, subjected to rainfall infiltration. This analysis requires to compute simultaneously the deformation and the groundwater flow with time dependent boundary conditions (fully coupled flow-deformation analysis). Based on the available data, the hydraulic parameters required for the applied Van Genuchten models were estimated. The achieved agreement in pore-water pressures and groundwater levels between measurement and analysis using the finite element method can be considered very reasonable for the full time period monitored.
