Abstract
In this study, one-dimensional unsaturated flow modeling was performed for simulation of infiltration from surface sources into a collapsible soil profile. Degree of wetting profiles obtained for various extreme landscape and surface run-off conditions were used to estimate strain profiles and surface settlement. Control of site water is demonstrated to be very important to reduction of foundation movement risk in moisture sensitive soils. Copyright ASCE 2008.
