Fig. 7.
Three graphs show basal pore pressure over time for measured and hydrostatic values at three locations.The panels present basal pore pressure over time at three locations. Panel a shows C 1 P P T 1 with values increasing from near 0 kilopascal at 30 second to about 3 kilopascal near 45 second, then decreasing gradually towards 0. Panel b shows C 3 P P T 1 with values rising from near 0 kilopascal at 30 second to about 2.5 kilopascal near 75 second, then decreasing to near 0. Panel c shows C 7 P P T 1 with values near 0 until about 60 second, then increasing to about 1.5 kilopascal near 75 second, followed by a gradual decrease.

Time histories of measured basal pore pressures in the upstream pressure transducers (PPT1) of basal instrumentation cells (a) C1, (b) C3 and (c) C7. Shaded region in (a) between t = 40 s and 60 s is used in estimating debris fluidisation ratio (uw/σn)
