Tree root damage to buildings

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply the general theory of consolidation/swelling for unsaturated soils to provide a reliable, practical technique for the prediction of one-, twoor three-dimensional volume change associated with unsaturated, expansive soils.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the engineering aspects associated with vegetation on infrastructure slopes and the conflicts that must be managed in order to maintain safety and serviceability, and examined the importance of roadside corridors as grassland habitats and difficulties of managing and maintaining the diversity of species using safe and economic management practices.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of extreme wet winter weather on pore water pressure within railway embankments, using field monitoring data and numerical modelling, was demonstrated using the London Underground Ltd network.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors combine the mechanical and hydrological effects of vegetation with a slope stability framework and find that the most significant benefit is likely to be achieved only when the mature tree is located at the toe of the slope.
