Landslides are significant natural hazards worldwide due to their frequency and catastrophic consequences A landslide is a type of mass wasting process involving the movement of rock, debris, or earth down a slope under the influence of gravity These movements can manifest as flowing, sliding, toppling, or falling.

Landslides exhibit combinations of different movement types and are present in all continents, playing an important role in landscape evolution In many areas, they also pose a serious threat to the population.

Pore water pressure significantly influences the equilibrium of forces in soil, often leading to slope failures due to variations following hydrological flow paths The coexistence of fluid and solid phases in soil results in the principle of effective stress.

The behavior of unsaturated soil subjected to water infiltration plays an important role in Geomechanics because the failure of natural slopes, embankments, and artificial soil structures is often due to short and long infiltrations caused by rainfall or melting snow Water infiltrating into unsaturated soils results in an increase of saturation.

Excess air in the soil can cause stress, diverting infiltration and deforming the soil mass based on its susceptibility Deformation, defined as a change in shape or distortion, typically occurs due to applied load or stress.

Soil swelling, a deformation induced by wetting, is primarily influenced by infiltration capacity, which relates to the behavior of free air within the soil mass (Dusseaulƚ, 1989; Һ0гƚ0п, 1938) Infiltration during natural rain is limited by the rate at which air can escape or be displaced, highlighting the critical relationship between air and infiltration Capillary pressure in the soil mass further alters fluid flow.

Horton (1940) presented that air, if trapped within the soil, reduces the infiltration rate of water by being compressed Consequently, the generation and evolution of pore pressure in response to infiltration is a fundamental parameter (Boogaard, 2016).

In slope stability analysis using effective stresses, accurate assessment of pore pressure distribution is crucial from the outset This study emphasizes the physical properties and behavior of pore pressure, particularly concerning phenomena occurring during rainfall, such as water infiltration, to better understand and predict slope stability.

During heavy rainfall, surface runoff typically occurs as shown in Figure 1.1 Initially, there's an interval t1 of rain with an intensity lower than the infiltration capacity.

During the initial rainfall, the soil absorbs all the rain, preventing surface runoff and detention The infiltration capacity decreases until time t1, when it becomes less than the rainfall intensity Subsequently, during a second interval td, the excess rain above the absorbed amount.

Rainfall initially fills surface depressions until no runoff occurs Continued rainfall, after filling these depressions, leads to surface detention and subsequent surface runoff.

Rainfall excess, occurring when rainfall intensity exceeds infiltration capacity, contributes to surface runoff, while accumulated surface detention is gradually reduced through infiltration or runoff Even with subsequent rainfall at intensities below the soil's infiltration capacity, total surface runoff remains approximately equal to the total rainfall excess in most cases (Horton, 1940).

During infiltration, water absorption into the soil body from the surface generates internal flow within the porous media, replacing and compressing free air, which subsequently dissolves or escapes as bubbles, increasing pore pressure Fredlund (1993) demonstrated that pore-air and pore-water pressures increase with total stress during undrained compression, leading to a decrease in matric suction Experimental evidence supports a continual increase of pore pressures, approaching a single value as total stress increases, suggesting that even a slight increase in total stress could reduce free air volume and increase matric suction This implies that water infiltration could be reduced by a rise in total stress or pore pressure, potentially leading to runoff during high-intensity rainfall due to exceeding the ground's infiltration capacity.

During undrained compression, both pore-air and pore-water pressures increase with total stress, leading to a decrease in matric suction Experimental evidence indicates a continuous rise in these pressures, converging towards a single value as total stress increases A slight increase in total stress could trigger a chain reaction, reducing free air volume to an infinitesimal size while matric suction approaches infinity This implies that water infiltration could be reduced with an increase in total stress or pore pressure High-intensity rainfall can create surface runoff due to exceeding the infiltration capacity of the ground as pore pressure rises.

Water infiltration into unsaturated soils is a critical geotechnical problem linked to large deformations and failures of natural slopes and soil structures These failures can be triggered by wetting processes in unsaturated states, resulting from increased moisture content and decreased suction Pressure parameters play a significant role in investigating water infiltration phenomena.

Column tests are frequently used in infiltration research, as evidenced by numerous studies (Juaп Daѵid M D et al 2017, K̟ K̟amiɣa, et al 2014, Һ0пǥ Ɣaпǥ, et al 2004) Analytical solutions have also been applied to analyze rainfall infiltration into unsaturated soils.

Recent studies utilize numerical solutions to analyze unsaturated soil problems due to the complexities of initial conditions, multi-layered soils, varying rainfall intensities, and engineering geometries, where analytical solutions are unattainable Many numerical studies account for the inherent complexities of infiltration in unsaturated soils However, the behavior of pore pressure, especially pore air pressure coupled with water movement within soils, remains an interesting topic that has not been fully studied This study investigates the behavior of pore air pressure associated with water movement in transient vertical infiltration problems.

While air pressure's response to water infiltration isn't fully understood, studies suggest air pressure measurements can predict water flux and cumulative infiltration Precise air pressure measurements in capillary tubes can assess the sensitivity of hydraulic conductivity and sorptivity However, small air pressure ahead of the wetting front has a near-negligible effect on infiltration.

Kamiya and Hamada (2014) demonstrated that water infiltration generates pore air pressure in the soil This generation is linked to rainfall reducing air permeability near the soil surface Larger pore air pressure can affect the soil structure, potentially causing collapse, a phenomenon described by Fredlund in 1993, although pore air pressure was not clearly considered a main variable at that time.

Siemens et al (2014) investigated the impact of pore air pressure variations during water infiltration, noting that Richard's equation typically assumes no impedance from the pore air phase The study revealed that even a minor heterogeneity significantly impacts the pore pressure response A fine layer can alter the transient pore pressure regime and wetting front migration, causing ponding during wetting front descent and acting similarly to a leaky bedrock layer, thus limiting flow.

The addition of a fine layer significantly prolongs the observation of hydrostatic conditions at equilibrium under closed conditions This modification influences the wetting front speed and reduces air phase entrapment.

Heterogeneities must be considered to accurately predict transient pore pressure response during infiltration Capillary pressure, defined as the pressure difference between two immiscible fluids in the same pores caused by interfacial tension, must be overcome to initiate flow The capillary pressure is assumed to be a function of the water saturation, represented by the equation \$$ p_a - p_w = p_c(S_w) \$$.

In hydrophilic porous media, the capillary pressure is always non-negative As water saturation decreases, the pore water pressure correspondingly decreases while the capillary pressure increases, assuming constant pore air pressure.

The relationship between capillary pressure and water saturation is known by several names, including the suction function, retention function, or soil water characteristic function.

In porous media, air can only invade a fully water-saturated medium if the air pressure exceeds the water pressure by a specific value (Lu & Likos, 2004) Figure 2.2 illustrates the general features of this phenomenon in relation to various configurations of air and water.

Literature reviews indicate that pore water pressure variations during rainfall significantly influence slope and embankment failures by altering soil strength Current research lacks comprehensive solutions for water movement in multiphase systems, often neglecting the role of pore air pressure during water infiltration Therefore, understanding pore air pressure behavior during water infiltration is crucial This study investigates pore air pressure behavior associated with water infiltration through laboratory experiments and numerical simulations, aiming to develop a comprehensive influence rating procedure for rainfall-induced landslides, which can be used as a fundamental basement of developing a complete influence rating procedure of heavy rainfall triggering landslide in further studies.

Heavy rainfall leads to surface runoff and flooding, causing water to accumulate in specific areas While the water rapidly absorbs into the soil, the rate of water influx often exceeds the infiltration rate, resulting in ponding.

Water infiltration into soil is often modeled as vertical flow within a cylindrical tube This absorption process moves water toward the base of the soil column, creating a saturation zone above the water table Laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate this phenomenon in a closed system where air cannot escape from the base of the soil column.

During a soil infiltration experiment, air movement is controlled to occur only through the top surface of the soil column, assuming a constant initial air volume within the soil As water infiltrates, it displaces air within the porous space, driving the air to escape as bubbles from the soil surface into the atmosphere.

Numerical simulation for unsaturated soils is gaining attention due to the prevalence of related geotechnical problems like slope failures and expansive soils Slope failures often occur due to rainfall or melting snow infiltration, which changes pore pressure and decreases the soil's shear strength One-dimensional infiltration into saturated soils is thus becoming an increasingly interesting topic.

Simulation results of pore air pressure align with experimental behavior, as detailed in Chapter 3 Discrepancies in pore air pressure values are attributed to sensor calculation delays, potentially causing air and water leakage from the system.

The interaction between pore air pressure within the soil and water movement raises questions about its behavior in open systems A model is designed to understand the behavior of pore air pressure with water movement in an open system where the air is not trapped.

The open infiltration model simulates water entering an air-filled column of Toyoura sand from the base, with the top surface exposed to the atmosphere As water (the wetting phase) enters, it creates a wetting front moving upwards, forcing air to escape from the column's surface Water at the inlet changes over time, corresponding to the height of fluid rise within the 100 cm high, 15 cm radius column.

In an open system simulation, the wetting front advances primarily due to capillary pressure, with negligible pore air pressure influence because the pore air pressure remains approximately zero throughout the simulation Consequently, the effect of pore air pressure on water movement can be ignored in this scenario.

This study investigates pore air pressure behavior within soils during water infiltration through laboratory experiments and numerical simulations One-dimensional water infiltration problems were simulated on typical geomaterials The distribution of pore pressure, coupled with water movement, especially during infiltration, was studied to derive conclusions about the process.

Transparent soil, optically matched with pore fluid, enabled direct observation of the wetting front during lab experiments and allowed monitoring of air phase movement within the soil profile, along with saturation distribution measurements Numerical simulations, incorporating unsaturated properties of transparent soil gradations, accurately captured the wetting front migration and transient moisture regime throughout the experiments Results indicated that under closed conditions, the wetting front migrates significantly slower after rapid initial absorption During closed infiltration, upward air phase movement through the advancing wetting zone to the soil surface, escaping as bubbles, allows water absorption into available pore space until the wetting front reaches the bottom of the soil column.

Pore pressure behavior is closely related to the velocity of the wetting front's movement In a closed system, pore air pressure increases rapidly upon initial water infiltration Pore air pressure beneath the wetting front remains consistent throughout the soil system during this interval A specific location's pore air pressure decreases only upon contact with the wetting front, while the remaining pressure continues to rise, approximating capillary pressure.

Pore air pressure increases proportionally to depth in soil, slowing infiltration by reducing capillary pressure The time lag between pore air pressure at different points indicates the wetting front's velocity Soil saturation is not achieved until pore air pressure reaches zero.

In open systems, simulations studying pore air pressure behavior during water table rise, influenced by capillary effects, reveal that the air phase remains in contact with the atmosphere, maintaining pore air pressure near zero While pore air pressure can still affect wetting fluid migration, its impact is negligible Consequently, the effect of pore air pressure can be ignored in open systems.

During the wetting process of porous media, water replaces air, leading to air compression Consequently, pore pressure increases due to compression as the remaining air dissolves or escapes as bubbles Fredlund (1993) demonstrated the relationship of pore-

During undrained compression, both pore-air and pore-water pressures increase with total stress, leading to a decrease in matric suction Experimental evidence indicates a continuous rise in these pressures, converging towards a single value as total stress increases A slight increase in total stress could trigger a chain reaction, reducing free air volume to an infinitesimal size while matric suction approaches infinity This implies that water infiltration could be reduced with an increase in total stress or pore pressure High-intensity rainfall can create surface runoff due to exceeding the infiltration capacity of the ground as pore pressure rises.

Heavy rainfall leads to increased water levels and surface runoff, creating a saturated layer that reduces water infiltration by decreasing matric suction This process traps an unsaturated zone where air escapes from the soil, compresses, and ultimately leads to air entrapment failures in porous media.

Water infiltration into unsaturated soils is a critical geotechnical problem linked to large deformations and failures of natural slopes and soil structures Soil failure can be triggered by a wetting process from an unsaturated state, resulting from increased moisture content and decreased suction Pressure parameters play a significant role in investigating water infiltration phenomena.

Recent studies utilize numerical solutions to analyze unsaturated soil problems due to the complexities of initial conditions, multi-layered soils, varying rainfall intensities, and engineering geometries, where analytical solutions are unattainable Many numerical studies account for the inherent complexities of infiltration in unsaturated soils However, the behavior of pore pressure, especially pore air pressure coupled with water movement within soils, remains an interesting topic that has not been fully studied This study investigates the behavior of pore air pressure associated with water movement in transient vertical infiltration problems.

Heavy rainfall during extreme weather conditions, largely attributed to climate change, is expected to produce increased variations to the infiltration characteristics and the level of the water table in low-lying areas such as valleys and slopes.

Rainfall infiltration significantly alters water uptake, leading to skeletal deformations observable as water table changes The rise in the water table after rainfall is complex, influenced by permeability, initial soil conditions, water table position, evapotranspiration, land cover, land use, and rainfall intensity.

Deformation in unsaturated porous media causes porosity variations, influencing water flow Hydrology around landslides is key to pore pressure buildup, reducing shear strength due to buoyancy forces in saturated soil and soil suction in unsaturated soil.

Pore water pressure significantly influences landslide occurrences due to rainfall, affecting soil's mechanical properties Research indicates that the interplay between effective stresses, shear strength, and water flow determines the equilibrium of unsaturated deposits, with soil suction contributing to shear strength Increased soil wetness reduces suction, potentially triggering shallow landslides Soil hydraulic conductivity can be affected by soil deformation in saturated conditions, and volumetric deformations induced by soil suction may lead to shrinkage cracks.

While air pressure's response to water infiltration isn't fully understood, studies suggest air pressure measurements can predict water flux and cumulative infiltration Precise air pressure measurements in capillary tubes can assess the sensitivity of hydraulic conductivity and sorptivity However, small air pressure ahead of the wetting front has a near-negligible effect on infiltration.

Kamiya and Hamada (2014) demonstrated that pore air pressure in soil is generated by water infiltration, which reduces air permeability near the soil surface due to rainfall This phenomenon, potentially leading to soil structure collapse, was described by Fredlund in 1993, although pore air pressure was not clearly considered a main variable at that time.

Siemens et al (2014) investigated the impact of pore air pressure variations during water infiltration, noting that Richard's equation typically assumes no impedance from the pore air phase The study revealed that even a relatively minor heterogeneity significantly impacts the pore pressure response A fine layer can alter the transient pore pressure regime and wetting front migration, causing ponding during wetting front descent and acting similarly to a leaky bedrock layer, thus limiting flow.

The addition of a fine layer significantly prolongs the observation of hydrostatic conditions at equilibrium under closed conditions This modification influences the wetting front speed and reduces air phase entrapment.

Heterogeneities must be considered to accurately predict transient pore pressure response during infiltration Capillary pressure, defined as the pressure differential between two immiscible fluids in the same pores caused by interfacial tension, must be overcome to initiate flow The capillary pressure is assumed to be a function of the water saturation, represented by the equation \$$ p_a - p_w = p_c(S_w) \$$.

In hydrophilic porous media, the capillary pressure is always non-negative As water saturation decreases, the pore water pressure correspondingly decreases while the capillary pressure increases, assuming constant pore air pressure.

The relationship between capillary pressure and water saturation is known by several names, including the suction function, retention function, or soil water characteristic function.

In porous media, air can only invade a fully water-saturated medium if the air pressure exceeds the water pressure by a specific value (Lu & Likos, 2004) Figure 2.2 illustrates the general features of this phenomenon in relation to various configurations of air and water.

Heavy rainfall leads to surface runoff and flooding, causing water to accumulate in specific areas Rapid water absorption into the soil mass occurs at this point Ponding happens when the water inflow rate exceeds the infiltration rate.

Water infiltration into soil is often modeled as vertical flow within a cylindrical tube As water is absorbed, it moves toward the base of the soil column, saturating the zone above the water table This system can be considered closed, preventing air from escaping the soil column's base, a phenomenon investigated through laboratory experiments.

During the experiment, air movement is controlled to occur only through the top surface of the soil column, assuming a constant initial volume of gas phase (air) within the soil As water infiltrates the soil, it moves through porous spaces, displacing air The air displaced by water escapes from the system into the atmosphere through the soil surface as bubbles.

During water infiltration experiments, Figure 3.7 illustrates the variance in pore air pressure at the build-up stage Pore air pressure at CH1 (5 cm) decreased to 0 around 250 seconds, while CH2 continuously recorded an increase This is attributed to complete water infiltration throughout the soil column, eliminating external water at the soil surface.

Recently, increasing attention is being given to numerical simulation for unsaturated soils because many geotechnical problems are related to unsaturated soils such as slope failures and expansive soils Embankment and slope failures occur frequently due to both short and long infiltration caused by rainfall or melting snow Water, infiltrating into saturated soils, results in an increase in saturation, leading to changes in pore pressure and a decrease in the shear strength of the soils One-dimensional infiltration into saturated soils is becoming an interesting topic due to necessity.

This study investigates water infiltration processes, focusing on the influence of pore pressure parameters during events like heavy rainfall and flooding The analyses are based on the study of parameter and state variables on the one-dimensional infiltration when they are subjected to a wetting process as an effect of heavy rainfall Multiphase flow formulas are employed to describe water infiltration in a geomaterial composed of solid and gas phases, which clearly phenomenalizes the reaction of soil with water infiltration.
