Abstract The article shows Generalized Interpolation Material Point Method numerical
simulation of the Sainte Monique landslide. The simulation uses a strain-rate dependent …

Subaqueous spreading, a type of extensional mass transport that is characterized by a ridge
and trough morphology, has been documented globally but is poorly understood …

The occurrence of large landslides in sensitive clays, such as spreads, can be modelled by
progressive development of large inelastic shear deformation zones (shear bands). The …

Landslides involving sensitive clays are recurrent events in the world's northern regions and
are especially notorious in eastern Canada. The two critical factors that separate sensitive …

Various smoothed particle finite element methods (SPFEMs) have been developed to
simulate large deformation problems, but their efficiency and accuracy in simulating …

This paper presents a Lagrangian formulation of elastoviscoplasticity, on the basis of the
particle finite element method, for progressive failure analysis of sensitive clays. The …

Spreads are a type of large landslide occurring in sensitive clays. Stability analyses using
the limit equilibrium method give factors of safety that are too large and are therefore not …

River bank slopes incised into Champlain Sea Clay are particularly susceptible to highly
retrogressive landslides such as flows and lateral spreads. The concept of progressive …

Post-slide investigations suggest that many large-scale submarine landslides occur through
marine sensitive clay layers. A nonlinear mathematical model for post-peak degradation of …

A large-deformation finite-element (FE) modelling technique is presented to model
submarine landslides. A strain softening model for undrained shear strength of marine clay …
