Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立高雄大學 === 土木與環境工程學系碩士班 === 101 === Taiwan is an island with abundant of rainfall. The torrential rainfall accompanied with typhoons frequently causes the rise of groundwater level, the increase of slope soil moisture and the pore water pressure so as to degrade the slope stability. Moreover, Taiwan is located at the compressing zone of the Eurasia plate and Philippine plate, with abundant of mountainous topography and poor geological conditions. Therefore, slopeland disasters often occur in Taiwan and result in the loss of lives and economic damage. Based on the aforementioned reasons, research to integrate the effects of hydrological, topographic, and geological factors on slope stability is very important. Different from the traditional limited stress scale studies, on the basis of the achievements of previous modeling tests, this study is going to utilize the self-developed hydrological environment testing box for slope model tests on the geotechnical centrifuge. The test results will be analyzed to research the influence of groundwater seepage and rainfall infiltration to slope failures, so as to investigate the relationship between slope instability and hydrological effects.
