Monitoring the Performance of Unsaturated Soil Slopes

Abstract: Field monitoring is necessary for the geotechnical engineer to verify design assumptions. More importantly, the field data may also be assembled into a comprehensive case record that is available for use when checking validity of any analytical and numerical models. The ongoing process of back-analysis in unsaturated soil engineering can help to refine and improve our understanding, providing guidance for future designs, where the effects of soil suction and hydraulic hysteresis are still being explored. A ran… Show more

“…There are also some large-scale experiments [20] and a few studies that constructed a full-scale embankment in order to monitor the soil-atmosphere interactions [21][22][23]. Finally, multiple research studies have been performed on the monitoring of natural slopes affected by different types of slope mass-wasting mechanisms [24][25][26][27].…”

“…Numerous studies on the impact of heavy rainfall on slope stability using monitoring devices and numerical modelling have been carried out by Chipp et al (1982), Sweeney (1982), Pitts (1985), Krahn et al (1989), Fredlund and Rahardjo (1993), Lim et al (1996), Rahardjo et al (1998), Ng et al (2003Ng et al ( , 2008, Li et al (2005), Kovacevic et al (2007), Charles and Bromhead (2008), and Rouainia et al (2009). The effect of climate change in Singapore and elsewhere on slope stability may be detrimental to some public transport infrastructures (Anderson and Kneale 1980;Leroueil 2001;Toll 2001;Borga et al 2002;Brooks et al 2004;Smethurst et al 2006;O'Brien 2007;Kilsby et al 2009).…”
