dc.description.abstract	Tree failures occur frequently in Singapore. Tree failures are often catastrophic to public and infrastructure of a densely populated urban environment like Singapore. Soil properties, rainfall condition, wind condition and green wood properties are main factors that contribute to tree stability. In this paper, the effect of infil-tration characteristics of soil on tree stability is investigated through numerical modelling. A typical residu-al soil of Singapore was subjected to different rainfall conditions to study its infiltration characteristics and its effect on tree stability. The results of the analyses show that hydraulic properties of the soil have signifi-cant effects on infiltration characteristics of the soil and consequently on tree stability.
