Because recurrent rainfall-induced landslide episodes mimic prior failures, this study builds
a back-analysis approach to identify those prior failure events and assess the prospective …

This study aimed to assess the potential of in-situ measured soil and vegetation
characteristics in landslide susceptibility analyses. First, data for eight independent …

The Jiangdingya (JDY) ancient landslide is a large-scale landslide located in the
Bailongjiang River fault zone, Zhouqu County, Gansu Province. Affected by fault activities …

Hydrodynamic Pressure landslides are the most typical landslides affected by the water
level in the Three Gorges Reservoir. These types of landslides are large and cause severe …

The unstable rock slope in the Laxiwa reservoir area of the Yellow River upstream, China,
shows the signs of gravitational and water-impounding induced large deformations over an …

The seepage and stability of unsaturated soil slopes under torrential rain conditions are key
issues in geotechnical and hydraulic engineering. In this work, based on the generalized …

To study slope stability and instability modes under rainfall conditions, an improved Bishop
method is proposed according to saturated-unsaturated seepage flow theory. It can …

Laboratory apparatuses for the analysis of infiltration and runoff enable studies under
controlled environments and at reduced costs. Unfortunately, the design and construction of …

Heavy seismic damage tends to occur in embankments when ground water is present. This
paper proposes and applies a numerical procedure to evaluate slope stability during …

Geotechnical characterization of the unconsolidated geo-materials (which are mainly soils)
is one of the major concerns for geotechnical engineers, administration and city planners …
