Soil Detachment Rate of a Rainfall-Induced Landslide Soil
2023
Overview
In recent decades, the number of rainfall-induced landslides has increased significantly in many parts of Malaysia, especially in the urbanized and hilly areas. The disturbance of hilly morphology as a result of human activities has increased the potential for erosion on man-made slopes, especially during extreme rainfall during rain events. Most hilly areas in Malaysia are covered by a thick layer of soil, which is known to have a significant impact on soil erosion. However, little is known about how soil erosion and rainfall could be the driving force behind landslide initiation, especially on stabilized slopes. Therefore, this study focuses on the soil detachment rate of landslides triggered by rainfall at different rainfall intensities. A sandbox model is used to represent real slope conditions. The relationship between the soil detachment capacity, soil properties (water content, slope, clay layers and soil compaction), hydraulic parameters (flow shear stress and stream power) and rainfall intensities (low, medium and high) was investigated. The results showed that the hydraulic parameters and the rainfall intensity are directly proportional to the detachment rate of the soil. Water content and slope show a higher soil detachment rate and a lower critical flow shear stress than other soil properties. It can be concluded that high saturation and steep slope increase the risk of soil erosion because the cohesion and friction of the soil are significantly reduced, leading to a weakening of the soil structure at the surface. The results of this study can feed into the existing analysis of slope stability and formulate the onset of a landslide triggered by rainfall, especially in eroded soils.
