The residual tropical soils and their unsaturated condition add more complexity to the study of slope stability, introducing the suction variable to the stress state analysis. Due to the complexity of the pedological processes involved in their formation, tropical soils present variability in their parameters. This results in uncertainties regarding its...

The hydraulic conductivity for unsaturated soil conditions is more difficult to estimate than for the saturated condition. In addition, as the soil transitions from intact to cracked, the difficulty in estimating the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity increases. One critical step in the determination of unsaturated flow hydraulic conductivity is the eva...
