Abstract
Based on the actual rainfall data and saturated-unsaturated seepage theory, the change of pore water pressure and volumetric moisture content of carbonaceous mudstone embankment slope were studied under designed rainfall intensity. At the same time, the effect of rainfall intensity change on the slope failure mode and safety coefficient was analyzed. The results of the study show that: Continuous rainfall will make the surface layer negative pore water pressure of carbonaceous mudstone embankment slope loss, and in transient saturation zone the volumetric moisture content reaches the saturated moisture content. Safety coefficient of carbonaceous mudstone embankment slope gradually decreases with the rainfall continuing, potential sliding surface also have the tendency of extending into the embankment.
