Investigation of Solution Accuracy in PFEM Simulations Using Benchmark Problems

Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The simulation of large topological changes, such as those occurring in Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) and vibratory pile driving, remains a major challenge in computational geomechanics. Excessive mesh distortions render classical approaches like the Finite Element Method (FEM) unsuitable, emphasizing the need for alternative methodologies ...

Regulatory Framework and Public Policies for Sustainability in the Construction Sector

Sustainable Development, Volume 34, Issue 3, Page 3229-3248, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This study analyzes the role of public policies in promoting socially responsible practices in the construction sector, with a particular focus on their contribution to climate neutrality and the decarbonization of the building stock. European agreements exert increasing pressure to transform the construction sector, reinforcing the transition

Reactivation Mechanism of Dormant Earthflows: Insights From the San Benedetto Landslide (Northern Apennines, Italy)

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Earthflows are landslides in fine‐grained materials that alternate long dormant phases of very slow movement with short paroxysmal stages of rapid motion. These rapid phases are highly destructive, often causing severe damage to buildings and infrastructure.

Analysis of Dam Characteristics and Failure Trend of Landslide Dams With Different Materials: Field Investigation

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Landslides can block rivers and create natural dams that pose significant flooding hazards to upstream and downstream. Variations in dam materials and geometries play a critical role in controlling breach initiation and failure processes, thereby complicating failure assessment.

Three‐Dimensional Characterization of Lateral Subsurface Flow in an Alpine Forested Hillslope on the Tibetan Plateau Using Time‐Lapse Electrical Resistivity Tomography

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Lateral subsurface flow (LSF) is a key component of rainfall‐runoff generation on alpine forested slopes, but the influence of weathered bedrock on LSF remains poorly understood due to methodological constraints in monitoring three‐dimensional flow dynamics. This study addresses this gap by proposing a standardized morphological interpretation
