Abstract：he method of drainage cutoff by air filling is a new approach to improve the stability of slopes. Injecting the compressed air into the saturated soil slope forms an unsaturated zone which can prevent the water entering into the critical failure surface of the slope. In this study，laboratory experiment and numerical simulation were carried out to investigate the relationship between the air pressure and interception effect. Results show that the air filling has remarkable effect on water flow interception. For a given slope，there exist a start-up pressure and an optimal pressure of air filling. When the air pressure is greater than the start-up value，the water table can be lowered. When the pressure ranges between the start-up and optimal values，the water table decreases with the increase of air pressure. However，when the air pressure is higher than the optimal value，the water table increases with the increase of air pressure.
