Shear strength properties and soil-water characteristic curves of residual soil
The negative pore-water pressure or matric suction in unsaturated soil contributes to the shear strength and consequently the stability of residual soil slopes. Rainfall infiltration and water flow results in the decrease in matric suction, which will reduce the shear strength of the soil and may tr...
