Field measurements of residual soil slopes are valuable for the assessment of slope stability during rainfall. Several residual soil slopes, which are predominantly unsaturated due to their deep groundwater table, were instrumented with tensiometer and rainfall gauge in order to study the response characteristics of the slopes during rainfall. Comprehensive field measurement results involving a large number of rainfall events are presented in the paper. The results show that the pore-water pressures in all instrumented slopes increased in a similar fashion during rainfall, but at different magnitudes depending on soil type. The pore-water pressure response characteristics can then be used to estimate the variation in factor of safety of the slope during rainfall.

This paper presents the analysis of a 12 month long field study of the infiltration characteristics of two residual soil slopes in Singapore. The field measurements consist of rainfall data, runoff data of natural and simulated rainfall events, and pore-water pressure changes during infiltration at several depths and at several locations on the two slopes. The analysis of the field measurements identifies the total rainfall and the initial pore-water pressures within the two slopes as the controlling parameters for the changes in the pore-water pressures within the slopes during infiltration.Key words: infiltration, rainfall, runoff, pore-water pressure, field measurements.
