Responses of pore-water pressures in unsaturated soil slopes during rainfall have major influences in triggering slope failures. Two fully instrumented residual soil slopes located in two major geological formations in Singapore, that are Bukit Timah Granite and sedimentary Jurong Formation, were mo...
