Performance Evaluation of a Tunnel–Slope System
Intense rainfall and the resulting increase in ground saturation can significantly modify the mechanical performance of rock masses in natural slopes, particularly when fractured material is present. Extended infiltration reduces shear strength along discontinuities and increases pore-water pressures, raising the proba...
