Spatial variability of soil properties was rarely taken into account directly in traditional slope
stability analyses, rather some “average” or suitably “pessimistic” properties are assumed to …

Anisotropic spatial variability of soil properties is frequently encountered in geotechnical
engineering practice due to the complex depositional process. To quantitatively evaluate the …

Landslide is a uniquely dynamic large-deformation process that can present serious threat
to human lives and infrastructures. The natural soil properties often exhibit inherent spatial …

Rainfall-induced landslides are a major geohazard worldwide, which involve a complicated
process, starting from rainfall infiltration, to landslide triggering and initiation, and post-failure …

Rock slope stability is a key research issue in geotechnical engineering. Weak layer is a
distinct feature distinguishing the rock slopes from soil types, and its existence considerably …

A slope fails if it slides along any slip surface. Proper assessment of slope failure risk in
geological and geotechnical engineering needs to account, rationally, for a large, or even …

Landslide is a common dynamic large-deformation disaster of mobilized soils, which poses
a serious threat to the lives and economic properties of surrounding people. Both the strain …

Coupled fluid–solid phase continuum problems associated with large deformation as
geotechnics experts encounter in slope stability problems have been extensively reviewed …

Modeling multivariate cross-correlated random fields plays an important role in reliability
analysis of geotechnical systems. The cross-correlation among random fields is commonly …

Soils often exhibit spatial variability with nonstationarity, which has not yet been studied in
the context of postfailure analysis of slopes. In this study, the random material point method …
