Abstract
The detailed seepage process and rainfall infiltration temporal variation cannot be observed visually due to the complexity and non-visibility of the internal structure of landslide body, thus making it difficult to identify the specific process of rainfall in the whole process of landslide catastrophic evolution, which leads to the incomplete understanding of the formation mechanism of rainfall-induced landslide. Therefore, the new technological methods for directly observing and monitoring the infiltration and seepage process of rainfall-induced landslide is of great significance for deep understanding the formation mechanism of landslide induced by raining. Transparent soil test technology enables non-invasive, continuous, non-destructive and visual measurement or monitoring inside soil or rock mass bodies. In this paper, the current status of the development of transparent soil testing technology and its application in different fields especially in the application of slope engineering and practice in the visual simulation of seepage processes are summarized from the aspects of transparent soil material properties, geotechnical engineering properties, experimental equipment and image processing analysis technology, and the feasibility of applying it to the visual observation of seepage in landslide is discussed. On this basis, the transparent soil material is screened and the preparation method is optimized. The transparent soil is used to replace the traditional geotechnical model material to establish a landslide transparent soil physical model suitable for seepage process observation. The physical simulation test of landslide seepage under rainfall conditions is carried out to obtain information on the whole process of rainfall infiltration-induced landslide disaster, and to determine the process and characteristics of the seepage process of the groundwater. The model test is an effective application of transparent soil test technology in the field of landslide seepage visual observation, expanding a new way of landslide disaster visual simulation, and further determining the complex impact of groundwater seepage on landslide. It is conducive to reveal the evolution law of rainfall-induced landslide, explore the sliding mechanism of landslide, and provide a scientific and technological support for rainfall landslide disaster prevention and disaster planning.
