Influence of tension cracks on moisture infiltration in loess slopes under high-intensity rainfall conditions

Influence of tension cracks on moisture infiltration in loess slopes under high-intensity rainfall conditions

Abstract Loess slopes with steep gradients are particularly prone to vertical tension cracks at the crest, resulting from unloading and other factors. These cracks significantly affect the spatiotemporal distribution of moisture infiltration during rainfall, potentially leading to slope instability....
