Unsaturated soils are located above the groundwater table (G.W.T) and unsaturated soil slopes are more susceptible to rainfall-induced slope failures. As such, infiltration of water would cause an increase in water content, subsequently decreasing the matric suction of soil, thus reducing shear stre...
