Rainfall intensity crucial for stability of soil slopes, study finds.
Rainfall can make soil slopes unstable. This study looked at how rainfall affects a red clay embankment slope. They used equations to show how water and soil interact. By studying a damaged slope, they found that the simulation matched real-life results. They also found that heavy rain, how long it rains, and soil strength are key factors in slope stability during rainfall. This research shows that simulations can help predict slope stability in practical situations.
