Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It has been pointed out that the pore-air blow off from the surface of river dike during heavy rainfall. It is therefore important to consider the influence of the pore-air blows on the slope stability of the dike. In this research, based on the laboratory water infiltration experiment in one-dimension, the pore-air behavior during the wetting process in unsaturated soil was considered and the adaptability of the geotextile on prevention of the pore-air blows was examined. As a result, it was found that the pore-air pressure in the soil with the hydraulic conductivity of 10-3cm/s was generated by the seepage of river water when the air permeability at near the surface was reduced by the rainfall. It was observed that the local crack in the soil occurred due to the larger pore-air pressure. And then, the pore-air blows was prevented in while keeping the air permeability at near the surface by laying the geotextile at the ground surface.
