A reduced-scale physical model test with a scale of 1: 2000 is designed based on the
Wenjia Gully landslides. By changing the volume and kinetic energy of the sliding mass, we …

Expansive soil, characterized by widespread fissures, is a special type of soil prone to
localized fissure propagation, leading to failure and instability, often resulting in landslides …

Geologic shear fractures such as faults and slip surfaces involve marked friction along the
discontinuities as they are subjected to significant confining pressures. This friction plays a …

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

In the present study a novel approach of practical interest is proposed to perform a predictive
analysis of the landslides in sensitive clays. Specifically, this approach allows a prediction of …

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 …

Modelling of landslides in sensitive clays has long been recognised as a challenge. The
strength reduction of sensitive clays when undergoing plastic deformation makes the failure …

Sensitive clays, when subjected to large strains, exhibit a unique strain-softening behavior,
transforming into a remolded liquid with remarkably low shear strength. When a slope fails …

Abstract The Loess Plateau covers about 6.6% of the total land area of China. Landslides
are serious concerns in Loess Plateau of China, and the south **gyang tableland on the …
