Effect of water infiltration on the mechanical behaviour of unsaturated soil
Natural slopes and embankments are generally unsaturated in nature with negative pore water pressure adding to the shear strength and hence the stability of the slopes. During the event of rainfall, pore water pressure becomes less negative or even positive as a result the shear strength of soil dec...
