Abstract: 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 has been identified as a cause of ...

Abstract: Hysteresis is a common feature exhibited in hydraulic properties of an unsaturated soil. For a specific matric suction, water content or coefficient of permeability on a wetting curve is always lower than those found on a ...

Abstract: Shear strength parameters used in geotechnical design are obtained mainly from the consolidated drained (CD) or consolidated undrained (CU) triaxial tests. However in many field situations, soils are compacted for construction ...

Abstract: A large amount of construction waste creates problems related to cost and space for disposal, especially for countries with limited land like Singapore. Therefore, it is important to choose a suitable landfill management ...

Abstract: Rainfall, hydrological condition, and geological formation of slope are important contributing factors to slope failures. Parametric studies were carried out to study the effect of groundwater table position, rainfall ...

Abstract: The infiltration characteristics of two different hydrophobic materials were investigated in this study. The materials used in this study were fine and coarse recycled concrete aggregates (RCA). One-dimensional (1D) vertical ...
