Simulating infiltration processes into fractured and swelling soils as triggering factors of landslides [PDF]
, 2013 The influence of rainfall in triggering landslides is a widely discussed topic in scientific literature. The slope stability of fractured surface soils is often influenced by the soil suction.

Grass evapotranspiration-induced suction in slope:case study [PDF]
, 2016 Grass evapotranspiration (ET) has been recognised to potentially affect shallow slope stability due to additional soil suction induced by root–water uptake. Some limited field studies showed higher suction induced in vegetated soil than that in bare soil,

Solid-Fluid Coupled Numerical Analysis of Suction Caisson Installation in Sand
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 Suction caissons are widely used foundations in offshore engineering. The change in excess pore pressure and seepage field caused by penetration and suction significantly affects the soil resistance around the caisson wall and tip, and also affects the ...

Field investigation of deformation characteristics and stress mobilisation of a soil slope [PDF]
, 2015 Stress mobilisation and deformation of a slope are important for engineers to carry out reliable design of retaining systems. However, most case histories reported mainly on the response of pore-water pressure (PWP), whereas knowledge about the stress ...

Cyclic behaviour of an unsaturated silty soil subjected to hydro-mechanical damage [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 The dynamic behaviour of unsaturated soil subjected to cyclic loading is considered using two stress state variables, net normal stress and matric suction. Though the influence of excess pore-water pressures in fully saturated soils has been investigated
