Abstract:A sudden slope failure occurred in Manisa possibly due to the effect of water infiltration because of a slightly damaged sewage pipe. Considering that there was no other evidence such as rainfall or any loading conditions to trigger the slope failure, a laboratory investigation on the soil’s unsaturated hydro-mechanical properties was initiated. Slopes are naturally unsaturated soils, and they may lose their stability with increased saturation degrees with water infiltration. Thus, for a proper investigation, … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
