Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStability Analysis and Stability Chart for Unsaturated Residual Soil SlopeBujang B.K. Huat, Faisal Hj. Ali, R. S.K. RajooIn tropical residual soils most hill slope failures are caused by rainfall. It is therefore important to consider dynamic hydrological conditions when attempting to analyze the stability of residual soil slopes. This paper describes a coupled hydrology/stability model that has been developed to overcome the limitations of the standard method of analysis used to investigate stability of tropical soil slopes. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,325 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEarth-To-Space Improved Model for Rain Attenuation Prediction at Ku-BandMandeep Singh Jit Singh, S. S.I. Hassan, M. F. Ain et al.A model for predicting rain attenuation on earth-to-space was developed by using the measurement data obtained from tropical and equatorial region. The proposed rain attenuation model uses the complete rainfall rate cumulative distribution as input data. It was shown that significant improvements in terms of prediction error over existing attenuation model obtained. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2006 · 6,725 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModified Shear Box Test Apparatus for Measuring Shear Strength of Unsaturated Residual SoilBujang B.K. Huat, Faisal Hj Ali, S. HashimResidual soils occur in most countries of the world but the greater areas and depths are normally found in tropical humid areas. Most of these soils exhibit high suctions for most of the year. The shear strength parameters, c’ and Φ’, of soil can be obtained using conventional shear strength tests. However the conventional shear strength test equipments would not … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,046 accessesView PDF Cite
