Abstract
The annual rainfall in tropical rain forests in Africa is concentrated, and the abundant rainfall can easily lead to roadbed landslides. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the impact of rainfall on the stability of roadbeds. This paper first uses the pore fluid permeability/stress coupling analysis step provided by ABAQUS to calculate the impact of rainfall infiltration on the overall stability of the roadbed slope and then discusses the rainfall infiltration on the slope seepage field, stress field, and displacement combined with the strength reduction method and the influence of field and safety factors. In the end, it is concluded that the 72-hour rainfall with an intensity of 50 mm/d will reduce the safety factor of the roadbed by 4.9% compared with before the rainfall. At the same time, it will increase the internal pore water pressure of the roadbed, reduce the suction of the matrix, and reduce the effective stress, which is caused by various factors. The overall stability of the roadbed is reduced.
