Abstract

The shear strength of soil is an important parameter that affects tree stability and can vary depending on the magnitude of the soil’s negative pore-water pressure (matric suction). The surface flux boundary condition affects the matric suction of soil, and therefore is important for tree stability. Field measurements were performed around a roadside tree for 2 years. The instrumentation results show that the matric suction in the soil fluctuated between 0 and 35 kPa. Matric suction changes in the soil could lead to a decrease in the tree resistive moment of up to 80 %.
