.... In practice, tunnels may locate above groundwater level, within a partially saturated zone. Since thermal properties of ground are moisture dependent, heat exchange rates vary according to soil type, groundwater level, and air entry suction. A numerical model was developed and validated to investigate...

...-induced slope failures in the island of Guam. In particular, the results of field instrumentation and monitoring by way of moisture and suction sensors, laboratory and field testing of geotechnical and hydrological soil properties and rainfall-induced numerical simulations of transient seepage coupled...
