Abstract

Earthquake and subsequent rainfall infiltration always easily induced slope failure. The paper takes one slope as the studying example to assess the preliminary joint effect of earthquake disturbing and subsequent rainfall on slope failure. Based on the unsaturated infiltration theory, subsequent rainfall unsaturated seepage fields of un-disturbing and seismic slope were simulated separately. The results of earthquake disturbing slope compared with the initial one were discussed in detailed. The conclusion showed seismic slope is inclined to rainfall infiltration, which obviously increased the pore water pressure and induced rise of ground water.
