Seasonal changes in pore water pressure in a grass covered cut slope in London clay

, 2006
In temperate European climates, the season of peak water demand by vegetation (summer) is out of phase with the season of greatest rainfall (winter). This results in seasonal fluctuations in soil water content and, in clay soils, associated problems of ...

Analysis of Soil–Water Characteristic Curve and Microstructure of Undisturbed Loess

Applied Sciences
Long-term irrigation promotes the infiltration of water in the thick, stratified loess layer, significantly raising the groundwater table and triggering a series of landslides in loess platform areas.

Impact of SWCC Measurement Methods on the Numerical Investigations of Unsaturated Soils

Journal of Applied Engineering and Technological Science (JAETS)
The soil-water characteristic curve SWCC, also known as the soil-water retention curve SWRC, describes the relationship between soil suction and water content in unsaturated soils. Many studies rely on specific laboratory testing methods without considering their impact on numerical simulations.

Determination of soil–water characteristic curves by using a polymer tensiometer

Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Materials
Recently, rainfall-induced slope failure has struck Cimanggung village, West Java province, Indonesia. In order to anticipate future slope failures due to rainfall, an unsaturated slope stability analysis is compulsory.
