- Abstract:
-
Benggang mainly consists of colluvial deposits with high erosivity leading to easy rainfall splash erosion or runoff scouring. This study aimed to analyze the rill erosion characteristics of the colluvial deposits under different simulated rainfall and slope conditions. Rainfall intensity ranged from 1.00 to 2.33 mm/min and slope gradient from 20° to 40°. The results indicated that: the time that the rill erosion happened was shorten as the slope and rainfall intensity increased; when the rainfall intensity increased, the distance of rill head from slope top became short, the width and depth increased, but rill density was not obviously different; when the slope increased, the vertical force increased, but the horizontal expansion capacity reduced accordingly, so the depth increased, and the width-depth ratio decreased; and when the slope and rainfall intensity increased, the main erosion pattern changed from sheet erosion to rill erosion; the effects of rainfall intensity on rill erosion was greater than slope gradient.
