Rainfall-induced slope failures commonly occur in the unsaturated zone above groundwater table in many steep residual soil slopes. Dynamic variations in groundwater table and flux boundary conditions across ground surface result in changes in pore-water pressure in the unsaturated zone. During a pro...
