Abstract
Rainfall is an important factor affecting the stability of Xiashu loess slope, so it is particularly important to understand the infiltration law and induction process of rainfall in Xiashu loess slope. In this paper, a Xiashu loess slope model with a slope ratio of 1 : 1.2 is constructed in the model box. The rainfall infiltration law, vertical stress characteristics, pore-water pressure characteristics, and deformation failure mode of the slope under two different rainfall types and four different rainfall degrees are analyzed. The instability and failure mechanism of Xiashu loess slope with gravel layer under different rainfall conditions is studied. The test results show that the influence of rainfall intensity factors on the gravel soil slope is mainly reflected in the degree of erosion of the slope. With the increase in rainfall frequency and intensity, the rainfall infiltration rate gradually increased, reached the highest value after standing, and then decreased with the increase of rainfall intensity. Rainfall has a great influence on the pore-water pressure in the gravel soil slope, and the pore-water pressure at the monitoring point of the slope toe changes the most. The vertical stress curve will change abruptly in the later stage of intermittent rainfall and during continuous rainfall.
