Abstract | The physical process of rainfall infiltration is fundamentally important to geotechnical engineering because it plays an important role in slope stability and design of earth retaining structures. The infiltration is generally defined as a process whereby water enters the soil from the ground surface and is governed by the gravitational force, soil suction and the coefficient of permeability. In the current study, a pair of remoulded ground models with simplified geometries, controlled initial conditions and material properties is constructed. It aims to throw light on the rain infiltration mechanism and its effects on ground deformation. |
