Stability analysis of an earth embankment subjected to rainfall infiltration - Analisi di stabilità di un rilevato in terra soggetto ad infiltrazione di acque di pioggia

In the present thesis, an attempt was made to study, with a numerical software, how the rainfall infiltration influences the stresses and the behavior of a soil embankment according to different hydraulic permeability values and rainfall intensities. In particular the analyses performed can be distinguished in four main types: an infiltration analysis, a stress-deformation analysis, a slope stability analysis and a parametric study
