Taking a homogeneous double-layer soil slope as an example, the SEEP/W module and SLOPE/W module in the finite element analysis software GeoStudio were used in this paper. Then, the changes of pore water pressure and stability under different rainfall patterns and soil parameters were studied. Finally, the variation curves of pore water pressure and slope safety factor with rainfall time were obtained. The results show that: Soil parameters a and m are directly proportional to the slope safety factor, while n is inversely proportional to the slope safety factor. Under the condition of continuous rainfall, the decreasing rate of slope safety factor is directly proportional to the rainfall intensity.Under different rainfall patterns, the continuous rainfall in the advanced and normal rainfall patterns will cause the slope stability to decline and then gradually recover, while delayed and averaged rainfall patterns rainfall will cause the slope stability to decline continuously.In addition, there is a lag period in the change of slope safety factor, and the whole lag period lasts about 6 hours. During the lag period, the pore water pressure inside the soil began to decrease, while the slope safety factor continued to decrease. The safety factor starts to recover after the lag period ends.

Abstract It is well known that construction of dams or reservoirs have geomorphological impacts on the environment and could potentially accelerate the occurrence of landslides. One of the most common impact is the occurrence of new landslides and activation of the old one, which may turn into a natural disaster. Thus, controlling the stability of landslides become challenging issue specifically in the presence of f pore-water pressure. In general, the presence of water or pore-water pressure reduces the soil resistance and also leads to increase in stimulus loads, resulting in reduction of stability coefficients. In the present study, using GeoStudio SLOPE/W software, the effect of the proximity of the dam reservoir in terms of different operating conditions on the stability analysis of the landslide area of ​​Zarm-Rood Dam is investigated. In the first step, the evaluation of internal stability of landslides and the effect of the presence of water on stability coefficients were evaluated and then the sustainable design of landslides was proposed. It was found that when extra pore-water pressure ranges from 0.2 to 0.4, safety factor is decreased by about 10%. Accordingly, safety factor is decreased by about 17% when extra pore-water pressure range from 0.4 to 0.6. This research demonstrates successful implementation of GeoStudio SLOPE/W for slope stability analysis in dam construction projects.

Taking the high and steep slope of a ski resort as the background, in order to ensure the structural safety of the slope in the subsequent complex rainfall environment, the calculation principle of unsaturated soil slope stability is summarized, and the parameter interaction analysis is proposed. The numerical simulation method is used to study the influence of various rainfall types on slope stability; combined with a multiparameter combination, the slope stability is analyzed. The results show that different types of rainfall have a significant impact on the safety factor of the slope, the safety factor of the slope under the front rainfall type is the smallest, the minimum value is 1.38, and the front rainfall mostly occurs in the late summer, so it is necessary to avoid construction in the late summer or do a good job of safety monitoring in the late summer. Through setting monitoring points, it is found that the pore water pressure of the three positions from small to large is in the order of slope toe<slope middle<slope top, and the pore water pressure at the slope toe is basically 0 kPa. At this time, the matric suction at the slope toe is the minimum, so the protection should be strengthened. In the combination analysis of the four parameters, the direct effect and coupling effect of C15 are at a small level, which indicates that when the four parameters fluctuate together, the mutual coupling is not the effect of a single parameter, which provides a theoretical reference for the follow-up related research.

On the basis of the Australian Computer Society(ACADS)`s typical questions1(a),first, regardless of the slope in the case of pore water pressure, used FLAC procedure calculate the safety factor, the result was very close to the reference answer given by ACADS, we can see the accuracy of FLAC. Then, applied to the slope of different pore water pressure, obtained safety factor under corresponding conditions, then, we found that the pore water pressure had effect on the slope safety factor, but the influence are not same, when the pore water pressure less than a certain value, the influence are very small, but, when the pore water pressure exceeded this value, the influence became very large.

All the time, security control method of loading is an important research part in the surcharge preloading, which is directly related to safety of the construction process. Starting from the stress path, discussing the variation of excess pore water pressure and relationship between stress path and security, and bringing forward the control method with a safety factor Fs based on the stress path. By measuring the change of excess pore water pressure, the control method with a safety factor Fs can reflect quantitatively the security status of soil and achieve the purpose of the process control, finally the security control method including the safety factor of loading and speed control is put forward to monitor construction safety. The safety factor of loading Fs is verified and back analyzed with the finite-element software, getting the correction factor from 0.90 to 1.20.

The stability of potash tailings piles is investigated using a pore-water pressure generation and dissipation model together with a limit equilibrium analysis. It is found that a shallow toe failure mode is generally the most applicable and that the stability may be influenced by pore-water pressure migration below the pile. It is suggested that field studies would be useful in evaluating stability in the toe region of the pile. Key words : potash tailings, slope stability, pore pressure dissipation, solutioning.
