Capillary barrier effect on the response of residual slope to rainfall infiltration

Rainfall-induced slope failure is a common problem in areas covered by residual soil in tropical countries. The soil exists in unsaturated condition as ground water table is located well below the ground surface. Rainfall infiltration results in a reduction of matric suction of soil which in turn re...
