Centrifuge model tests of deposits slope under rainfall

Study on dam Slope Stability under the Condition of Rainfall

Analyze the static simulation of the dam by using the strength reduction principle, get the stress, strain and displacement distribution rule and the corresponding safety factor in the water level change and rainfall infiltration are two working conditions of the reservoir’s retaining dam body respectively, get the displacement of the slip plane when the unstable failure happens on the dam, the...

Subsurface Water Movement and Downslope Deformation in Model-Slope Tests by Artificial Rainfall

The flowslide is reproduced by the quasi-real scale model-slope tests on river sand by artificial rainfall, in which subsurface water movement and downslope deformation are carefully monitored. The rainfall at the intensity of 100 mm/hour on the specimen formed at loose state (9.0-metre long, 1.0-metre wide, 0.5metre deep) have brought about the failure at 2,931 sec after the onset of sprinklin...

Stochastic Response Characteristics of a Kinematic Wave Model under the Impact of Slope-length Distribution •\ Mutually Independent Rainfall Inputs•\

Responses of a runoff system with slope-length distribution have been studied in detail by many researchers. In those studies, rainfall input to the runoff system was considered a deterministic variable. However, rainfall input should be treated as a random process. In this paper, the Kinematic Wave model is used as a runoff system, and differential equationswhose solutions provide the firstto ...
