Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Balancing ecosystem‐service supply and demand is central to understanding both the natural and social dimensions of ecosystem services and to enhancing human well‐beings. Concurrently, collaborative efforts are underway to improve multiple ecosystem services, including the promotion of carbon neutrality and water purification (WP) within basin

Modelling large deformation problems in unsaturated soils [PDF]
, 2016 Applications of unsaturated soil mechanics often involve large deformations and displacements. This is the case of collapse behaviour of low density soils or the unrestrained swelling of expansive clays.

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study presents large deformation computational methods to simulate lateral vehicular impacts on steel piles in granular soil. Soil‐mounted longitudinal barrier systems rely on energy dissipation in both the piles and the surrounding soil to safely redirect errant vehicles, so dynamic pile‐soil interaction is important for design ...

Design and construction aspects of a geocomposite drainage system in a dam [PDF]
, 2012 The drainage system of a dam depends mainly of the available granular material founded near the dam site and it’s quantities. In some cases, the use of natural granular materials can reach an impracticable cost considering the transportation and the ...

Random Characteristics of Hydraulic Gradient through Three-Dimensional Multilayer Embankment
Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2022 The distribution characteristics of hydraulic gradient in embankment are closely related to seepage failure. Seepage failures such as flowing soil and piping will lead to serious damage and even the overall failure of embankment.

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Across circumpolar permafrost regions, climate change is destabilizing ice‐rich hillslopes, increasing the frequency and magnitude of thaw‐driven mass wasting. This paper reviews recent studies (2013–2024) on thaw‐driven mass wasting, focusing on the processes, morphology and trajectories of geomorphic change and their implications for ...
