Rainfall and slope-cutting for road construction are two key landslide causative factors in Nepal, but how they interact to cause failures is poorly understood. To improve understanding of the effects of cut slopes during rainfall, geotechnical inves...

This chapter provides an overview of the important aspects of unsaturated soil behaviour that are of relevance for tropical residual soils. Many tropical soils exist in an unsaturated state due to soil water deficits induced by the tropical climate.... Read More about The Behaviour of Unsaturated Soil.
