As one of the most common failure forms of discontinuity-controlled rock slopes, wedge
failure is likely to occur in a wide range of geologic and geometric conditions. In this study …

Depth-integrated wave models are widely used for simulating large-scale propagation of
landslide tsunamis, with the generation of tsunami being simulated separately by various …

This paper studies the run-out of earthquake-induced landslides. There are more than 20
mechanical models to explain long run-out of rapid landslides including some earthquake …

This paper presents a novel approach (Y-slope) to simulate entire slope failure processes,
from initiation, transport to deposition. The algorithm is implemented in a combined finite …

The sanding process caused by karstification in dolomite creates a special sandy dolomite
stratum, where the frequent catastrophic instability of the surrounding rock occurred during …

Rockfalls, a common geohazard in mountainous areas, have destructive impact capacity
and may cause failure of dangerous rock masses in their runout range. For slope risk …

The accurate consideration of seismic wave propagation through discontinuous media is
crucial in rock engineering. Discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA), with the ability to …

Landslides involving solid–fluid interaction such as submarine landslides and landslide
dams occur frequently around the world, which may bring severe damage to human lives …

Bonding effects among non-contacting particles are key phenomena that drive the
mechanical behavior and fracture process of structural loess. The existing discontinuous …

Landslide with significant volume and considerable velocity may block the river stream in the
hillslope-channel coupling system, forming the natural dam and the dammed-lake behind …
