Landslides are generated by natural causes and by human action, causing various
geomorphological changes as well as physical and socioeconomic loss of the environment …

Loess slopes are widely distributed throughout the northwestern region of China and are
prone to slope failure in response to heavy rainfall. We undertook three groups of flume …

Rainfall-induced shallow landslides can seriously affect cultivations and infrastructures and
cause human losses. A continuous monitoring of unsaturated soil hydrological properties is …

Affected by groundwater fluctuations, the loess around the hydro-fluctuation zone near the
groundwater table is frequently subjected to periodic dry-wet cycles. The investigation on the …

An increase in precipitation due to climate change has given rise to the number of landslide
occurrences. Vetiver, which is a perennial grass, is becoming increasingly popular all over …

Thick loess deposits are considered problematic soils due to their susceptibility to collapse
suddenly and in large volumes upon increase of water content. In the past decades, a large …

This paper presents the results of centrifuge tests on rainfall-induced instabilities in variably
saturated slopes. The roles of rainfall intensity and initial conditions, such as slope angle …

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 …

Immiscible fluid–fluid displacement in porous media is an important phenomenon that
impacts the field of underground energy and environmental engineering, such as enhanced …

With a suction stress–based effective stress representation, stability analysis of unsaturated
engineered and natural slopes can be performed effectively in the same manner as the …
