Water inrush is one of the most dangerous disasters in coal mining. Due to the large-scale
mining and complicated hydrogeological conditions, thousands of deaths and huge …

Seepage-induced fine-particle migration that leads to a change in the conductivity of a soil
matrix is referred to as internal instability. This could jeopardize the structural integrity of the …

Filter layers are extensively employed in dam structures as a mitigation method against
internal erosion, which facilitates the interlocking and clogging of the suffused base soil due …

Fluid-solid interaction is an essential scientific issue interested many researchers in
geological and geotechnical fields, which always holds the key to understanding the meso …

Loess is a typical silt-sized Aeolian soil that is widely deposited and possesses a fragile soil
structure susceptible to collapse upon wetting. The instability of shallow loess slopes is well …

Internal erosion refers to the movement of fine particles within soil framework due to
subsurface water seepage. Existing criteria for assessing internal erosion usually are based …

Suffusion refers to a special form of internal erosion characterized by the selective erosion of
the finest particles of a soil under the action of an internal fluid flow. In this work, the …

Numerous incidents and failures of earth slopes, dykes, levees and embankment dams are
caused by internal erosion. At a time of global climate change, rapid pore-water pressure …

The unstable mechanical behavior of soil particles during suffusion, including migration and
clogging of fine particles in porous media, is prone to induce seepage catastrophes …

Fines removal during internal erosion results in the permeability increase and strength
reduction of granular soils. This study examines internal erosion during shearing of granular …
