The aim of this work is to develop a numerical tool for the
analysis of saturated-unsaturated flow in large scale
natural slopes, applied to the study of the stability of
these areas. The finite element method is applied to solve
the Richard`s equation, taking into account the pressure
head as the primary variable and using an adequate
formulation to minimize the mass conservation issues. The
constitutive model used to the characteristic curve and
hydraulic constitutive function is the one presented by van
Genuchten (1980). A quasi-Newton method (BFGS) is applied
for the solution of the non-linearity. A sparse matrix
storage scheme, with the objective of reducing the
computational memory requirements, is associated to the bi-
conjugated gradient method for the solution of the system
of equations. An algorithm of finite elements mesh is
presented, which generates the 3D mesh from a triangle
superficial mesh representing the relief. Numerical
analyses are performed in order to validate the code, by
comparing the results with those generated by others widely
known codes presented in the technical literature. A
methodology for the generation of susceptibility maps to
shallow translational landslides is delineated, which
employs the infinite slope method to the finite elements
mesh structure and the flow problem results, considering
the effect of the unsaturated state in the material
strength.
