The effect of transient state rainfall on stability of a residual soil slope

Slope instability attributable to rainfall occurant is a common geotechnical problem in tropical asian countries specially Malaysia. Many slope stability studies have illustrated the effect infiltration various hydrological characteristic of the soil in addition to climatic information. To futher un...
