Stability Evaluation of Volcanic Slope Subjected to Rainfall and Freeze-Thaw Action Based on Field Monitoring

Figure 1

Mechanism of frost heaving in cut slope observed for cold regions and failure modes. (a) Mechanism of frost heaving in slope, (b) surface failure of thawing soil with high moisture content over liquid limit, (c) slope failure due to piping by increase of pore water pressure, and (d) slope failure of loose layer composed thawing soil due to rainfall.
