The influence of the stress regime change and associated softening can be significant on
unsaturated expansive soil slope stability due to soil swelling upon wetting, which cannot be …

This paper presents an overview of depth averaged modelling of fast catastrophic landslides
where coupling of solid skeleton and pore fluid (air and water) is important. The first goal is …

Piled foundations are commonly employed to reduce settlements in artificial earth
embankments founded on soft soil strata. To limit the number of piles and, consequently …

A numerical simulation approach fully considered the processes of unsaturated seepage
and wetting-induced swelling of unsaturated expansive soil subjected to rainfall infiltration …

Piled foundations are commonly employed to reduce settlements of artificial earth
embankments on soft soil strata and geosynthetic reinforcements are installed at the …

Stiffness degradation and dam** represent some of the most well-known aspects of cyclic
soil behavior. While standard equivalent linear approaches reproduce these features by …

This paper deals with modelling of landslide propagation. Its purpose is to present a
methodology of analysis based on mathematical, constitutive and numerical modelling …

This paper presents simulation results of the performance of an unsaturated expansive soil
slope during artificial rainfall events from a field investigation. The field study, conducted on …

Rock avalanches move large volumes of material causing a highly destructive power over
large areas. In these events, it is possible to monitor the evolution of slopes but failure …

This paper aims at extending the well‐known critical state concept, associated with quasi‐
static conditions, by accounting for the role played by the strain rate when focusing on the …
