Swelling deformations of a fully wetted slope are calculated in FLAC using the swell constitutive model. Wetting is simulated by activating the swell model. Wetting-induced strains are calculated and compared to field measurements in this example for an actual field case of a wetted fill slope.

Keywords:

  • Slope Stability
  • swell deformations
  • Swell model
  • Mohr-Coulomb model
