Recent advances in theory and experimentation motivate a thorough reassessment of the
physics of debris flows. Analyses of flows of dry, granular solids and solid‐fluid mixtures …

▪ Abstract Field observations, laboratory experiments, and theoretical analyses indicate that
landslides mobilize to form debris flows by three processes:(a) widespread Coulomb failure …

The slope stability issues concerning rainfall induced slope failures are investigated and
presented. Specifically, the effect of both negative and positive pore water pressures on the …

Rainfall-initiated landslides continue to inflict damages and loss of life throughout the world.
Processes and mechanisms revealed from hydrological, geomorphic, geotechnical …

Movements and failure of cuts and natural slopes constitute an important geotechnical
problem that involves a variety of geomaterials in a variety of geological and climatic …

Using a small flume, a series of tests was conducted to trigger rainfall-induced landslides. By
performing tests on silica sand no. 7 (D50= 0.13 mm), no. 8 (D50= 0.05 mm) at different …

Loess slopes are widely distributed throughout the northwestern region of China and are
prone to slope failure in response to heavy rainfall. We undertook three groups of flume …

Continuous and heavy precipitation triggered a large loess landslide at the southern Dagou
Village of Mapaoquan Town, Tianshui City, Gansu Province of China on July 21, 2013. The …

Affected by groundwater fluctuations, the loess around the hydro-fluctuation zone near the
groundwater table is frequently subjected to periodic dry-wet cycles. The investigation on the …

Rainfall is one of the most significant triggering factors for slope failures in many regions
around the world. Numerous research studies have been conducted to investigate infiltration …
