Abstract
Pore-water conditions are not well known in road cut slopes in the tropics, despite the particularly acute stability problems in many areas in that climatic zone. Two prediction models are formulated from a study of conditions in road cut slopes in the Caribbean island of St Lucia. These are shown to be capable of predicting pore-water pressures to an acceptable level of accuracy from knowledge of only storm precipitation, material permeability and topography. More generally, such procedures are seen as potentially helpful in the context of cut slope design in tropical areas.
