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 …

Water infiltration rate and hydraulic conductivity in vegetated soil are two vital hydrological
parameters for agriculturists to determine availability of soil moisture for assessing crop …

Although rock disintegration has been well studied, much less is known for the residual soils
decomposed from the parent rocks. Weathering affects every aspect of residual soil …

Every engineering structure, whether it's a building, bridge or road, is affected by the ground
on which it is built. Geology is of fundamental importance when deciding on the location and …

In this paper, an attempt has been made to implement various machine learning techniques
to predict the factor of safety of a natural residual soil slope and a man-made overburden …

Granite residual soil is widely used as a subgrade material in pavement engineering.
Previous studies have not investigated the influence of stress on the soil water retention …

Excessive rainwater infiltration can be an important causal agent of both slope and whole
tree uprooting failures. Early warnings or stabilization measures on high-risk slopes or trees …

Soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) is the most fundamental and important soil property
in unsaturated soil mechanics. It has been used for analyzing slope stability due to the …

Rainfall-induced slope failures are commonly observed in residual soil. Due to weathering,
the residual soil properties vary with depths, especially in tropical countries, such as …

Collapsing gully erosion, a special erosion phenomenon in the hilly granitic regions, is an
important factor responsible for the deterioration of the ecological environment in southern …
