Moisture content in the sub grade will be affected by the external water level or rain after the moisture of sub grade reach to the equilibrium. According to the unsaturated flow, two-dimensional finite element method models of sub grade were established. Slope protection and blind drainage was used to study the influence to moisture of sub grade of backfill sand, the results indicate that the combination of slope protection and blind drainage was an optimal method, which can effectively reduce the moisture of sub grade.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
