Abstract

The effects of the drainage pipe on the ground water level during rainfall are predicted with the 3D FE analyses of transient water flow through unsaturated-saturated soils. The slope stability is evaluated by the global safety factor, based on the 3D elasto-plastic shear strength reduction FEM. The calculated results indicate that the drainage pipe can effectively lower the ground water level, and increase the slope stability duringrainfall.
