Summary The various stresses are examined which can arise in the vicinity of a mole channel from its formation to ultimate collapse. Possible failure mechanisms contributing to channel collapse or deterioration are proposed, together with the major soil properties associated with them. Supportive evidence for the proposals, obtained from individual laboratory and field experiments, is presented.
