Rainfall Intensity Linked to Increased Slope Instability in Granite Soil
The study looked at how rainfall affects the stability of slopes made of granite residual soil. They found that as rainfall intensity and duration increased, the water pressure and moisture content in the soil also increased, making the slope less stable. Short bursts of heavy rain can cause the slope to become more prone to slipping. It was also discovered that the suction within the soil plays a significant role in slope stability, which should be considered in engineering designs.
