An engineering background is involved with the Pianqiao tunnel in this paper; the physical
model experiment is conducted to systematically investigate the spatiotemporal evolution …

Rainfall-induced landslides are common natural hazards, particularly in cases involving
unsaturated soils. Slope instability issues may arise due to extreme climate events, while …

Abstract In the “Gully Land Reclamation” project conducted in Yan'an, China, shallow failure
in the middle of loess-filled slopes is caused by the unsaturated seepage of rainwater along …

Accurate analysis of the stability of rainfall-induced landslides is an important and urgent
task. Under complex geological conditions, traditional stability analysis methods cannot …

Understanding the failure process of bottom-saturated loess slopes is of great significance in
loess areas where flood irrigation is commonly utilized to alleviate the scarcity of …

Rainfall can increase the moisture content of a slope, which changes its mechanical
properties and thus acts as an important mechanism to trigger landslides. However, it is …

Abstract The Heifangtai terrace, in Northwest China, is a typical area where loess landslides
have been induced by agricultural irrigation, and many of the landslides are prone to …

Understanding the relation between land use and groundwater recharge is of direct interest
in areas that are prone to geohazards. This study was performed to characterize the effects …

Accurate binary images based on dye-tracing experiments are fundamental for
understanding preferential flow in soil. Nevertheless, general image-processing software …

Saline loess is an important cause of environmental geo-issues in northwest China. In this
research, electrical resistivity of loess with different moisture contents and NaCl …
