Tree root damage to buildings

TL;DR: In this article, a numerical model is presented for unsaturated moisture flow incorporating a sink term to represent water uptake by a tree, and the resulting variation in soil moisture content (or suction) is then included within an extended slope stability analysis that employs a method of estimating shear strength as a function of suction in addition to net mean stress.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of tree root water uptake and tree removal on pore water pressures and the vertical movement of a railway embankment was investigated using a numerical model.

TL;DR: In this article, a computer-based slope decision support system is presented to assist engineers to assess the likelihood of a'slope' being suitable for bioengineering techniques, and the inclusion of the vegetation effects are demonstrated in routine limit equilibrium stability analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the format and scope of a database of predominantly technical information relating to subsidence and heave claims on shrinkable/expansible clay soils, including details of the property and its structure, the damage, ground and foundation conditions, vegetation, and monitoring and remedial measures.
