Simple limit equilibrium analyses can be performed to determine the Factor of Safety (FOS) against slope failure of unsaturated soil slopes. However, many of the input parameters needed for these analyses are highly variable, ...
This paper describes the development of a
model to analyse the rate of infiltration and run-off
experienced by a partly saturated soil slope during
rainfall. The paper first reviews some of the most
popular infiltration ...
Rainfall induced landslides are a major cause of disturbance to transport networks in many parts of the world. In slopes where the water table is some depth below the ground surface, negative pore water pressure (suctions) ...
