Stability influence of weak interlayer rock slope under rainfall

In this study, we investigate the stability of soft rock slopes with weak interlayers under rainfall through indoor model tests and numerical simulations, focusing on a slope in northeast China. Weak interlayers, characterized by low thickness and mechanical strength compared to adjacent rock masses...
