Effect of rainfall infiltration on the hydraulic response and failure mechanisms of sandy slope models

This paper presents experimental results obtained from silty sand slope models subjected to an artificial rainfall. Four models were constructed to evaluate the effect of initial water content and rainfall intensity on the hydraulic behavior and failure mechanisms of the slopes. The models were inst...
