... ABSTRACT: A series of laboratory slope failure experiments was conducted to elucidate the initiation of rainfall-induced slope failures from moisture content measurement records. The change in moisture content during the infiltration of rainwater and at initiation of slope failures...

...NUMERICAL SIMULATION FOR EVAPORATION AND INFILTRATION THROUGH UNSATURATED SOIL Ryosuke Kiamura1,Yuji Miyamoto2,Yu Shimizu3 ABSTRACT In the southern part of Kyushu Island, Japan, slope failures often occur due to heavy rainfalls in the rainy season (from June to September). Most of these slope...

..., the majority of which would not comply with current environmental standards (Boevink, 1998). Current approaches to minimising the generation of leachate in these former landfills typically involve the provision of an impermeable barrier or cap to prevent infiltration into the refuse mound. Water balance models...

.... The scenario modelled for this research was the infiltration of Soltrol-130 (LNAPL) into the vadose zone of a 30/50 silica sand. The physical modelling consisted of monitoring infiltration of LNAPL into a 1.2 m by 1.2Êm by 0.10 m tank filled with the sand. The sand tank was designed to represent...
