Hello everyone,
I need to know if there is any software available to model the rainfall-induced slope failure? For instance, having the rainfall intensity and duration, can determine the infiltration of water in the soil and further calculate the slope stability condition?
You can use Geostudio or SOILVISION (Theory Manuals - SOILVISION - PLAXIS | SOILVISION Wiki - PLAXIS | SOILVISION - Bentley Communities)
Dear Mahdi,
Regarding the slope condition, you can use a numerical or analytical program. Also, there are several developed algorithms that are used to implement the rainfall impact on slopes.
Bests,
SR2 (RocsCience) allows you to simulate the effect of rain by defining the infiltration in m/s. As a result it gives you the water table and you can calculate the resulting safety factor by applying the SSR technique
Geostudio, Abaqus, FLAC, Plaxis, and so on. It's not difficult to learn how to use these software. But, how to choose the hydrological and mechanical parameters of slope materials in the numerical model is a key point.
