What is Safe Height for Vertical Trenches about?

This document discusses estimating the safe height of an unsupported vertical trench excavated in unsaturated sand. It presents research estimating the critical height, or maximum depth, of an unsupported trench before failure may occur. The critical height depends on the matric suction distribution profile between the soil surface and groundwater table. Two methods are used to estimate critical height: an extended Rankine earth pressure theory and slope stability modeling software. The results from both me
