AbstractExtensive studies have been carried out to investigate the use of plant roots as a mechanical reinforcement for slope stabilisation. However, although plant is well-recognised to induce soil suction via transpiration, any of its contribution to slope stability is rarely investigated. The objective of this study is to investigate the plant-induced suction distribution on a slope vegetated with multiple plants. A series of parametric study is conducted to investigate the effects of plant number and spacing on induced suction and its influence zone. In each analysis, the ground is subjected to 6-month drying under a constant potential transpiration rate. Any computed variations of plant-induced suction influence zone in each case are discussed.
