Abstract

Chapter 6 presents a study to clarify the effect of rainfall infiltration considering seepage flow on the deformation of unsaturated river embankments. From the numerical results, it is seen that the deformation of the embankment significantly depends on the water permeability of the soil and the strain is localized on the slope surface at the river side.
