The cyclic opening and closing of desiccation cracks during drying-wetting processes incessantly alters preferential flow paths and soil strength. Quantify the impact of desiccation crack dynamics on slope hydrology and stability remains a major unresolved challenge. To bridge this gap, we developed the first slope-scale hydro-mechanical model that couples weather-driven crack evolution with preferential flow while incorporating the deterioration effect on soil strength. This unified approach is a major contribution to our capacity to model the integration of hydrological processes and mechanical degradation of soil strength induced by dynamic cracks. The hydrological part adopted a dynamic dual-permeability model (dynamic DPM) and was validated by a physical slope model test. The dynamic DPM was then integrated into a set of numerical slope stability analyses under one-year atmospheric conditions. The groundwater level, water balance, pore water distribution, crack evolution and slope stability were investigated in the case of dynamic cracks and fixed cracks. The hydrological results showed that the slope model with dynamic cracks retained more water and higher groundwater level than that with fixed cracks. The narrowing of desiccation cracks slows down slope drainage process, resulting in a rapid build-up of pore water pressure due to preferential flow, which emerges as an often overlooked and significant factor contributing to slope instability. Conversely, fixed and well-connected cracks in soils enhance water drainage and thus benefit slope stability. The mechanical results revealed that the irreversible deterioration effect induced by crack dynamics on soil strength persistently degrades long-term slope stability. These findings provide new insights into failure mechanisms in cracked soil slopes, and show the importance of the integration of dynamic crack properties into climate-resilient slope design. Also, our results underscore the importance of understanding and quantifying the physical behavior of soil structures for soil hydrological response and slope stability assessment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11567,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Geology","volume":"357 ","pages":"Article 108377"},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145182929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 2023, an 11-day typhoon rainfall event from September 7 to 17 delivered a cumulative precipitation of 627 mm to the landslide area, triggering approximately 260 mm of displacement within the slip zone at depths of 11–12 m. Like previous studies, there is a correlation between monitored borehole water level (BWL) and landslide displacement. But interestingly, closer examinations demonstrate that BWL peak lags the fattest displacement period by nearly one week. Time derivative analysis suggests that BWL rising rate, rather than its absolute values, shows a high synchronous trend with displacement speed. Slope stability modeling and theoretical analysis confirm that due to slow infiltration processes, BWL rise rate serve as a proxy for GWL and saturation state in the landslide body, which strongly synchronized with landslide displacement, whereas modeling considering solely transient BWLs may not successfully forecast landslide movement. Our study demonstrates that the overall saturation state is a critical factor in rainfall-induced landslides, observable via non-invasive and more extensive spatial method like electrical resistivity tomography (ERT).

Key findings reveal that water accumulation at slope–foot junctions triggers upward and inward capillary migration, forming a zone of elevated moisture (18 %–35 %) that expands both during and for hours post-rainfall. This zone exhibits a scalene triangular cross-section (vertical height: horizontal depth ≈ 1.6), with maximum capillary migration height and depth correlating linearly with rainfall amount. Subsequent evaporation gradually restores baseline soil moisture of this zone. The capillary-driven wetting-drying cycles within loess slope toe area induce dissolution and transport of soluble salts (mainly Na<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub> and Na<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>), and formation of stratified salt crust via evaporative reprecipitation (mainly CaSO<sub>4</sub>·2H<sub>2</sub>O and Mg(OH)<sub>2</sub>). This mechanism degrades soil fabric and reduces soil strength. The spatial extent of the softening zone with low strength identified by cone penetration tests overlaps with the integrated zones of high moisture concentration and high salt concentration. Superimposed weathering processes (e.g., thermal fluctuations) induce cyclic shrink–swell deformation, and initiate surface spalling, promoting concave undercutting along loess slope toe area. Partial toe suspension creates cantilevered slope segments. Such slope geometry triggers viscoplastic deformation within the degraded zones, causing stress redistribution in the slope, which in turn promotes slope deformation. Under cyclic deformation–stress interplay, a failure surface is ultimately formed. This mechanistic understanding highlights the necessity to implement hydraulic isolation techniques at loess slope toe as targeted stabilization measure, particularly under climate change-induced precipitation intensification.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11567,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Geology","volume":"358 ","pages":"Article 108394"},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145219223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding their internal structure and monitoring dynamic changes are crucial for assessing slope stability and developing early warning systems. Conventional methods primarily focus on geological and geomorphological features, limiting their ability to capture subsurface structural changes. The passive seismic method offers a cost-effective and non-invasive approach for investigating subsurface structures and detecting underground changes. In this study, we utilize both short-term array data and long-term single-station ambient noise data from the Brienz/Brinzauls rock slope, Switzerland. For short-term data, we evaluate wavefield diffuseness to select segments with diffuse wavefields for seismic interferometry processing. We then apply the Generalized Phase Shift S-Transform (GPST) to extract surface wave dispersion curves and reconstruct a 3D S-wave velocity model. This model delineates the slip surface and reveals the intrinsic relationship between the June 2023 Insel collapse and the internal S-wave velocity structure. For long-term monitoring, we track slope changes using velocity ratio variation (dv/v) derived from the Autocorrelation Function (ACF), along with rockfall events, daily average peak ground acceleration (PGA), and daily average peak ground displacement (PGD). Anomalies in these parameters indicate that internal slope failure occurred on October 28, 2018, preceding the significant acceleration of the rock slope.
