Stability Assessment of Landslide in Himalayan Terrain: A Spectral Element Method and Back Analysis‐Based Approach

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 7, Issue 12, December 2025.
Securing Himalayan slopes today prevents future disasters. This study uses SEM and back analysis to model the unstable Ramche landslide. Results show it is only stable when fully dry, highlighting high monsoon‐season risk. Advanced tools confirm low safety factors, urging proactive slope stabilization in Nepal's vulnerable terrains.

Landslide preparation by forestry activity in a region of high erosion rates: Waingake Landslide, northeast New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 1015-1030, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Northeastern New Zealand’s sedimentary rocks and soils are particularly vulnerable to landsliding, with some of the highest specific sediment yields, globally. In addition to earthquakes, rainfall is considered an important landslide triggering process.

Rainfall‐triggered landslides from the January 2023 1‐in‐200 year storm at Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill, Auckland, New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 1049-1063, December 2025.
ABSTRACT We describe engineering geological characteristics and failure mechanisms of shallow soil landslides activated on Maungakiekie/One Tree Hill in central Auckland, New Zealand on 27 January 2023. The hill is a scoria cone in the young Auckland Volcanic Field (AVF), and formed ∼60 ka BP.

Understanding selective triggering of landslide movement in response to rainfall, Gisborne, New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 1064-1080, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Northeastern New Zealand has a landscape susceptible to landslides, on account of (1) its proximity to an active plate boundary, (2) steep slopes, (3) young, soft, sedimentary rocks and soils, (4) landuse changes, and (5) rainfall from ex‐tropical cyclones. The interplay of these led to widespread rainfall‐induced landsliding in the first half

Strengthening Dispersive Soils Using Waste Calcium‐Based Composite for Erosion Reduction and Enhanced Lifecycle Performance for Green Subgrade

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 7, Issue 11, November 2025.
A sustainable stabilization approach using 2% Calcium Lignosulphonate (CLS) and 3% Calcium Sulphate (CS) remarkably improves dispersive soil strength, erosion resistance, and durability. UCS increased from 86 to 198 kPa, CBR from 2.3% to 8.4%, with 61%–67% soil loss reduction.

Effect of motor oil contamination on geotechnical properties of over consolidated clay

open access: yesAlexandria Engineering Journal, 2011
The present study deals with the effect of motor oil contamination on the geotechnical properties of over-consolidated clay. Contamination effect and contamination duration are achieved by storing the clay samples in pressurized tank filled with motor ...

Effect of Three Bioenzymes on Compaction, Consistency Limits, and Strength Characteristics of a Sedimentary Residual Soil

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2015
Bioenzymes are organic degradable materials, currently introduced as soil improvement additives. In this experimental study, three types of bioenzymes from three different countries were used to improve Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) soil. UKM soil
