Influence of hydraulic characteristics on stability of unsaturated slope under transient seepage conditions

This paper examines the current procedure for determining the soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) model with a particular focus on its application to slope stability analysis under transient unsaturated seepage conditions. A series of laboratory experiments was performed to determine the SWCC of different soils, ranging from high plasticity clay to silty sand, found across the Korean Peninsula. The experimental results were utilized to...
