Influence of tension cracks on moisture infiltration in loess slopes under high-intensity rainfall conditions by Xuancheng Ren, Weifeng Sun, Hengxing Lan, Han Bao, Langping Li, Shijie Liu, Changgen Yan, Xiaochan Wang, Zhouchen Li, Chaoyang Tian

“…The extent of this “U-shaped” wetting front is influenced by the crack’s width, depth, and proximity to the slope shoulder; wider, deeper cracks closer to the shoulder result in a more pronounced wetting front. Over time, as rainfall persists, the influence of preferential infiltration decreases, and the infiltration patterns of slopes with crest cracks begin to resemble those of homogeneous slopes. …”
