Sph propagation modelling of an earthflow from southern italy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Natural slopes in clayey soils are often affected by failures which may cause the onset of landslides of the flow type travelling large distances and damaging buildings and major infrastructures.

A new data assimilation procedure to develop a debris flow run-out model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Parameter calibration is one of the most problematic phases of numerical modeling since the choice of parameters affects the model\u2019s reliability as far as the physical problems being studied are concerned. In some cases, laboratory tests or physical

Failure characteristics and the energy criterion of rock with a through‐going joint under true‐triaxial unloading conditions: Insights from the DEM model

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The rock failure mode is significantly influenced by the contributing factors, such as the joint inclination, the initial confining pressure, and the unloading point. We found six typical rock failure modes after a large number of numerical tests. Abstract Excavation unloading damages rock masses, with preferential failure along geological defects in ...

Contamination [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Soil contamination occurs when substances are added to soil, resulting in increases in concentrations above background or reference levels. Pollution may follow from contamination when contaminants are present in amounts that are detrimental to soil ...

Review and prospects of shear test of bolted rock joints

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The laboratory shear test equipment, test method, and numerical simulation of bolted rock joints were summarized. The shortcomings and limitations of the current research were analyzed, and the research prospects were proposed. Abstract Rock bolting is a critical approach in geotechnical engineering for supporting weak rocks.

The complementary distribution of coseismic and slow-moving landslides along the transition between the Qinghai-Xizang plateau and Sichuan basin

open access: yesGeodesy and Geodynamics
Landslides accompanying earthquakes are essential in landscape evolution along active fault zones. However, most studies focus on the rapid, catastrophic coseismic landslides with surface scars; the role of slow-moving landslides and their relation with ...

Numerical and experimental study on P‐wave propagation across a rock joint with different orientations

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Joint orientation significantly affects P‐wave velocity, with the highest velocity at zero‐degree angles, decreasing to 30° as the angle increases. The velocity increases slightly from 30 to 45 degrees but sharply decreases from 45 to 90 degrees. Abstract Determination of the required parameters in different science contexts using the ultrasonic wave ...
