Abstract
Shear Strength Behavior for Unsoaked and Soaked Multistage Triaxial Drained Test
Highlights
Malaysia is located in a semi-arid region which has hot and humid climate all year long
Slope failure of shallow type is confined within unsaturated zone when it is infiltrated by the surface water
If the soil is been soaked into water, the shear strength will be decreasing tremendously and it will further decrease with time when the soil is too long soaked into water
Summary
Malaysia is located in a semi-arid region which has hot and humid climate all year long. The pattern of slope failure that occurred normally of shallow types and the groundwater table were usually very deep and had no effect on the failure. This is a common type of failure in tropical countries which received high annual rainfall. Slope failure of shallow type is confined within unsaturated zone when it is infiltrated by the surface water. By understanding the actual mode of failure occurs in shallow type of landslide, it is hoped that the slope stability computational programme will be more reliable and reflective of the actual stability state. During the stage of design, most of the geotechnical engineers tend to design the slope stability based on empirical methods which require a high degree of engineering judgment which are derived from a lot of practical experiences
