Abstract: Suction stress, the part of effective stress induced by soil–water interaction, is the source for the intrinsic cohesion of fine-grained soil slurries. Here, the previous unified effective stress equation is generalized ...

Abstract: A method directly using rainfall records to predict a slope’s potential instability is devised. The method consists of three sequential steps: identifying the critical suction stress (pore water pressure when soil is ...
