Abstract: The seepage evolution characteristics and stability change rule of granite residual soil inside the high cutting slope under the action of rainfall infiltration were studied. Based on the saturated-unsaturated seepage theory, the numerical simulation of the rainwater infiltration path inside the granite residual soil slope was carried out under the condition of rainwater infiltration. The evolution characteristics of the seepage field of the granite residual soil cutting high slope under the condition of rainfall infiltration were revealed, and the influence of the rainwater infiltration on the stability of the granite residual soil slope was mainly studied. The research results show that with the accumulation of rainfall infiltration, the pore water pressure of the granite residual soil slope increases continuously, and the pore water pressure of the soil below the platform increases the fastest. With the increase in elevation, the water content of the slope presents a wave crest distribution. In the early stage of rainfall, the seepage velocity vector distribution on the slope surface is relatively uniform. In the middle stage of rainfall, the seepage velocity vector is the most dense at the platform, and the rainwater migration rate is accelerated. In the later stage of rainfall, the infiltrated rainwater at the slope angle of the first-level slope spreads to the surrounding area. With the continuous rainfall, the slope stability safety factor gradually decreased unevenly, and after the rainfall stopped, it gradually increased with the rainwater infiltration.
