Settlement Behavior of Shallow Foundations in Unsaturated Soils under Rainfall
Shallow foundations are often situated on unsaturated zones above the groundwater table. In this study, the influence of rainfall infiltration on the settlement behavior of shallow foundations was investigated using numerical analyses. The numerical solutions were compared with experimental data from in-situ load tests. The relative importance of rainfall intensities and groundwater table posit...
متن کاملContribution of ``soils and Foundations'' to Studies on Rainfall-induced Slope Failure
The many recent slope failures due to heavy rainfall have been accompanied by signiˆcant loss of life, and massive damage to infrastructures and heritage. Many studies have been done to investigate the mechanism of rainfall-induced slope failures and establish a prevention system for slope disasters. In this paper, the state-of-the-art research works on slope failures due to rainfall published ...
متن کاملPrediction of Spread Foundations’ Settlement in Cohesionless Soils Using a Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization-Based ANN Approach
Proper estimation of foundation settlement is a crucial factor in designing shallow foundations. Recent literature shows the applicability of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) in predicting the settlement of shallow foundations. However, conventional ANNs have some drawbacks: getting trapped in local minima and a slow rate of learning. Utilization of an optimization algorithm such as Particle S...
متن کاملAnalysis of Rainfall-Induced Landslide on Unsaturated Soil Slopes
This paper investigates rainfall-induced landslides on partially saturated soil slopes using the 2011 Umyeonsan landslides at the center of Seoul, Korea. An integrated analysis of rainfall-induced landslide was carried out through laboratory tests, field tests, and numerical analysis. The results of comprehensive investigations in the Umyeonsan region demonstrate that landslide activity is clos...
متن کاملBehavior of Unsaturated Layered Soil Columns during Infiltration
This paper presents the laboratory test results of vertical infiltration on two soil columns of finer over coarser soils subject to simulated rainfalls under conditions of no-ponding at the surface and constant head at the bottom. The main objectives were to evaluate the effect of rainfall intensity and duration; and to provide experimental evidence for soil water redistribution and hysteresis....
