Vegetation　reduces　soil　pore-water　pressure　(PWP)　through　root　water　uptake.　There　are　limited　studies　about　the　effects　of　vegetation　on　PWP　distributions　in　layered　soil,　such　as　multilayered　earthen　landfill　cover.　New　analytical　solutions　for　vertical　water　flow　in　vegetated　layered　soil　at　steady　state　are　derived　considering　various　root　architectures,　including　exponential,　parabolic,　triangular,　and　uniform　roots.　The　solutions　are　verified　through　(1)　hypothetical　vegetated　layered　soil　using　numerical　seepage　analyses　and　(2)　a　soil　column　test　investigating　PWP　distributions　in　vegetated　layered　soil.　The　new　solutions　are　capable　of　determining　PWP　distributions　for　both　inside　and　outside　root　zone　in　vegetated　layered　soil.　These　solutions　provide　a　relatively　simple　and　reliable　approach　for　estimation　of　PWP　distributions　in　vegetated　layered　soil.　©　2018　American　Society　of　Civil　Engineers.
