摘要
The coupled role of seepage and surface flow on bank retreat has long been neglected, partly due to the concealment and complexity of seepage erosion. To fill this gap, we set up a three-dimensional laboratory experiment to explore bank retreat process in response to seepage and surface flow. During each experiment, we measured the changes of total soil stress, matric suction, and water content within the bank, as well as flow velocity and suspended sediment concentration near the bank. Results show that a rapid decrease in matric suction, the bank toe undercutting consequent to seepage erosion, the formation of tension crack on the bank top, and the occurrence of toppling or shear failure is the typical sequence of the observed bank retreat process under seepage flow. The inclusion of surface flow erodes slump blocks and so promotes cantilever formation, leading to additional bank failure. Compared with the case where only seepage is considered, the frequency of toppling failure under the coupled effect of seepage and surface flow decreases, but the contribution to the bank retreat increases by 37 %. The time taken to collapse in three-dimensional experiments is at least 1.5 h earlier than that of two-dimensional experiments, indicating the importance of preferential flow pathways of seepage. Overall, this research illustrates how surface flow interacts with seepage flow to control bank retreat process and is indeed a first step toward a fully understanding of multifactor-driven bank retreat.
