Title: Stability analysis of high slopes based on the influence of water content change on soil strength
Abstract: The relationship between water content and strength of unsaturated soils is established using the soil-water characteristic curve.The curve is used to analyze the stability of a high residual soil slope of a highway. It reveals that the water content of soil plays an important role in high slope stability.It is therefore suggested that the water content of soil be a required parameter in high slope stability analysis.The safety factor of a slope calculated from unsaturated soil strength parameter is larger than that from saturated soil strength parameter,and the former is closer to the actual conditions.
