RESUMO

The prediction of landslides-prone areas has as fundamental step researching controlling factors and failure mechanisms. Some of these properties, such as the physical and hydrological soil properties are crucial to the instability of slopes subject to intense rainfall events. One of these properties is the saturated hydraulic conductivity, whose behavior can influence and lead to the development of positive pore-pressure or the loss of soil suction, causing failures. The main objective of this research was to analyze the lateral and vertical hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) of soils and their influence on shallow landslides in the Serra do Mar (SP). Therefore, we selected a representative basin in the Serra do Mar and there three accessible scars, well preserved, were chosen for in situ measurements. Was also performed the topographical characterization of the scars (slope angle, curvature and orientation and contributing area). The depths where the measurements were performed were defined from the morphological characterization of soil profiles in opened trenches at the top, at the lateral and inside the scars (0.25, 0.50, 1.00, 1.50, 2.00 and 2.50 m). At last, were performed the in situ measurements using the Guelph Permeameter, using two heads H for calculating Ksat using Richards equations, Laplace equations and Elrick et al. (1989) analysis, although the latter has been used to analyze the range of values. From the Ksat values and physical soil properties (e. g. grain size distribution, micro and macroporosity, total porosity) we discussed the role played by them in Ksat values. Moreover was analyzed the trend of Ksat variation with depth. We obtained 41 Ksat values, which varied between 10-4 e 10-7 m/s, mostly among the orders of magnitude 10-5 e 10-6 m/s (82.5% values), that showed the small variability of Ksat in the soil profiles if compared to the observed differences in soil properties, and corroborate with studies developed in the Serra do Mar. When confronted with the physical properties of materials (eg, grain size and total porosity), we observed mainly the positive correlation with the sand content. In general, we observed a tendency of increase of Ksat with depth, as well as the existence of some significant hydraulic discontinuities, both the sudden decrease as the increase in Ksat in a small depth.
