Quantifying the Role of Vegetation in Reducing Erosion on Post‐Mining Landforms: An Experimental Approach

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For post‐mining landscapes, erosion rates need to be demonstrably similar to that of the surrounding areas. Post‐mining landscapes are assessed (usually with a numerical model) to determine their erosion potential both in the pre‐ and post‐construction phases. Field plots, which rely on natural rainfall, provide the most reliable data; however,

Seasonal variation in bay‐marsh sediment exchange through a back‐barrier salt marsh tidal creek

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Salt marsh resilience to sea‐level rise largely depends on the balance of sediment exchanges with surrounding bays. In this study, we investigate mechanisms that determine residual sediment fluxes using continuous measurements of bay‐marsh sediment exchange conducted in a tidal creek spanning 13 months (753 tidal cycles) in an intertidal marsh

Seismic Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations in Anisotropic Non‐Homogeneous Soils Under Torsional Waves and Parameter Uncertainty

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The purpose of the present paper is to investigate the effects of the torsional wave propagation and the soil‐earthquake parameter uncertainties on the seismic bearing capacity of shallow foundations in anisotropic non‐homogeneous media.

A Constitutive Model Allowing for Particle Size‐Shape Coevolution

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a constitutive model developed within the Continuum Breakage Mechanics (CBM) framework. The proposed model explicitly accounts for particle shape evolution during the compression of crushable granular materials. Most importantly, the proposed formulation includes a novel expression of the dissipation function that enables a
