Abstract
The behaviour of an instrumented unstable slope in a profile of weathered overconsolidated clay has been analysed Available field investigation data and laboratory tests were integrated in a coupled hydromechanical model of the slope Particular attention was given to the unsaturated soil conditions above the water table and to the influence of the rainfall record Recorded porewater pressures helped to identify the hydrogeological conditions of the slope The coupled model was used to compute slope deformations and the variation of safety with time Actual rainfall records were also integrated into the analysis Comparison of measurements and calculations illustrate the nature of the slope instability and the complex relationships between mechanical and hydraulic factorsUne pente instable dans un profil dargile altérée surconsolidée a été instrumentée et son comportement a été analysé Des données disponibles obtenues lors détude sur le terrain et des essais en laboratoire ont été intégrés dans un modèle couplé hydromécanique de la pente Une attention particulière a été portée aux conditions du sol non saturé audessus de la nappe et à linfluence de la succession de pluies Les pressions enregistrées de leau dans les pores ont permis didentifier les conditions hydrogéologiques de la pente Le modèle couplé a été utilisé pour calculer les déformations de la pente et la variation de sécurité au cours du temps Les enregistrement de pluies réelles ont été également intégrés à lanalyse La comparaison des mesures aux calculs illustre la nature de linstabilité de la pente et les relations complexes entre les facteurs mécaniques et hydrauliquesSe ha analizado el comportamiento de una ladera instable que fue instrumentada en un perfil de arcillas meteorizadas sobreconsolidadas Se ha integrado los datos disponibles de investigaciones de campo y ensayos de laboratorio en un modelo hidromecánico acoplado de la ladera prestando una atención especial a las condiciones del suelo no saturado por encima del nivel freático y a la influencia de los registros de lluvia Los registros de presión del agua han ayudado a la identificación de las condiciones hidrogeológicas de la ladera El modelo acoplado ha servido para calcular las deformaciones de la ladera y el cambio de la seguridad con el tiempo integrando también los datos reales de lluvia La comparación entre valores medidos y calculados ilustra la naturaleza de la inestabilidad de la ladera y las complejas relaciones que se establecen entre factores mecánicos e hidráulicosThe authors are thankful to the support provided by the EU through the EPOCH Project EPOCCT900033 Physical Processes in the Mediterranean Climates and Related Slope Instabilities in Overconsolidated Clayey Soils coordinated by Professor ScarpelliThe displacement vector u and the air and water pressures p a and p w are chosen as basic variables of the problem To solve the basic equations 3 4 and 5 in terms of these basic variables a set of constitutive and motion equations are necessaryG 0 and R f are parameters of the hyperbolic model Duncan and Chang 1970 σ 1−σ 3 is the deviatoric stress and σ 1−σ 3 f is the deviatoric stress at failure Note that the stiffening effect of suction increase has been introduced in Eq 25 through the initial G modulus by means of a linear relationship with parameter M This is in accordance with some experimental evidence Brull 1980
