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 …

This work reviews the transient two-phase flow in porous media with engineering
applications in Geotechnics. It initially overviews constitutive relationships, conventional …

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 water retention curve (WRC) has become a key material function to define the
unsaturated behavior of soils and other particulate media. In many instances, it can be …

This paper examines the three categories of permeability functions for unsaturated soils,
including empirical, macroscopic, and statistical models. The theoretical backgrounds and …

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 …

The finite element analysis of transient water flow through unsaturated–saturated soils was
used to investigate effects of hydraulic characteristics, initial relative degree of saturation …

Analytical and comprehensive, this state-of-the-art book, examines the mechanics and
engineering of unsaturated soils, as well as explaining the laboratory and field testing and …

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 …

Rainfall-induced slope failure occurs in many parts of the world, especially in the tropics.
Many rainfall-induced slope failures have been attributed to antecedent rainfalls. Although it …
