Changes in the pore-water pressure of unsaturated soil slopes due to rainwater infiltration comprise a crucial factor which affects the shear strength of soils and may trigger slope failures. Two residual soil slopes in two main geological formations in Singapore, the Bukit Timah Granite and the sed...
