Factors controlling the seasonal variation in soil water content and pore water pressures within a lightly vegetated clay slope

Seasonal cycles of soil water content cause shrinking and swelling in clay soils, which can in turn contribute to strain-softening and progressive slope failure. This paper presents and analyses si...
