Floods caused by breaches of embankment and landslide dams are not only a tremendous
geological disaster, destroying people's lives and property, they also strongly shape the …

Numerous landslide dams have been induced in recent years as a result of frequent
earthquakes and extreme climate hazards. Landslide dams present serious threats to lives …

Understanding the effect of particle size on the shear strength of granular materials is
important for geotechnical design and construction. However, previous studies show …

Behaviour of granular soils subjected to internal erosion involves complex coupling between
solid–fluid interaction, skeleton deformation and microstructural evolutions. This paper …

The mechanical behavior at soil–structure interface (SSI) has a crucial influence on the
safety and stability of geotechnical structures. However, the behavior of SSI under constant …

Suffusion involves fine particles migration within the matrix of coarse fraction under seepage
flow, which usually occurs in the gap‐graded material of dams and levees. Key factors …

Calcareous sand is a typical problematic marine sediment because of its angular and
porous particles. The effects of internal pores on the mechanical properties of calcareous …

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 …

A new fluid–solid coupled numerical approach by combining the Dynamic Fluid Mesh
method with DEM (discrete element method) is applied to simulate suffusion. The fluid mesh …

The breaching of landslide dams is a severe geological disaster, and the resulting
breaching floods significantly threaten people in downstream areas. In this study, a large …
