Rainfall-initiated landslides continue to inflict damages and loss of life throughout the world.
Processes and mechanisms revealed from hydrological, geomorphic, geotechnical …

Rainfall‐triggered landslides are among the most widespread hazards in the world. The
hydrology in and around a landslide area is key to pore pressure buildup in the soil skeleton …

Unsaturated soil mechanics has rapidly become a part of geotechnical engineering practice
as a result of solutions that have emerged to a number of key problems (or challenges). The …

The measurement of soil parameters, such as the permeability and shear strength functions,
used to describe unsaturate soil behaviour can be expensive, difficult, and often impractical …

The slope stability issues concerning rainfall induced slope failures are investigated and
presented. Specifically, the effect of both negative and positive pore water pressures on the …

Rainfall-induced slope failure is a common geotechnical problem in the tropics where
residual soils are abundant. Although the significance of rainwater infiltration in causing …

Rainfall is one of the most significant triggering factors for slope failures in many regions
around the world. Numerous research studies have been conducted to investigate infiltration …

Rainfall, soil properties, and morphology are major factors controlling shallow landsliding. A
series of meteorological events that triggered soil slips in northern Italy were studied to …

The understanding of unsaturated soil mechanics principles is of interest to a wide spectrum
of geotechnical problems associated with soils above water table and compacted soils. This …

A case study is presented in order to identify the effect of antecedent rainfall on slope
stability for Singapore. A storm in February 1995 (during which 95 mm of rain fell in 2½ h) …
