How to simulate the rainfall for slope stability problem?
Hello,
I was trying to simulate this paper. I want to see the effect of rainfall on slope stability. I don't know where I am making mistake. I am describing step by step of my model.
Here is the original model in this paper (Effect of long duration rainstorm on
stability of Red-clay slopes)
At first, I wanted to try with SEEP/W analysis. I am facing some issues boundary conditions. At first, I defined water table through piezometer surface as above figure mentioned that point F,G water pressure zero where I drew the water table line like this:
Then I defined left and right side boundary as an impermeable. Also, I put the total head in left side as 10 m and right side as 2 m (same as water table line value for left and right point).
After this, I run the analysis with having water flux (6.25 mm/hr) value at the following picture.
But, I can match their results as they drew the pore water pressure at various locations. I am pretty much sure that I am doing some mistake in Boundary conditions. Can anybody help me in this regard?
I am also adding some photos for your understanding.
I believe that SIGMA/W will have the same Boundary conditions.

Hi @ShishirKumarSikderAm, it's hard to tell what is going wrong with your model without actually comparing your results with the paper results. Would you mind emailing support@geoslope.com with your file and licensing information so we can take a look?
