Slope stability in unsaturated soils

<p>This thesis deals with the analysis of slope stability in unsaturated soils. The failure criterion (Mohr-Coulomb) is extended to take into account the effect of a second stress variable (i.e., matrix suction). Test results from the literature for unsaturated materials are used to illustrate...
