Assessing the contribution of vegetation to slope stability [PDF]
, 2004 Many embankments and cuttings associated with the transportation infrastructure in the UK are only marginally stable. Engineering techniques such as soil nailing, geosynthetic reinforcement, improved drainage and ground improvement by stabilisation are ...

Loose earth pressure of tunnels considering progressive failure of loosen zone
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2023 The loose earth pressure of shallow shield tunnel is closely related to the soil arch effect and the progressive failure of the loosen zone. Based on the ellipsoidal theory, the elliptic loosen zone model is established, and the relationship between the ...

Geologic context of geodetic data across a Basin and Range normal fault, Crescent Valley, Nevada [PDF]
, 2004 Geodetic strain and late Quaternary faulting in the Basin and Range province is distributed over a region much wider than historic seismicity, which is localized near the margins of the province.

Deep ductile shear localization facilitates near-orthogonal strike-slip faulting in a thin brittle lithosphere [PDF]
, 2020 Some active fault systems comprise near-orthogonal conjugate strike-slip faults, as highlighted by the 2019 Ridgecrest and the 2012 Indian Ocean earthquake sequences.

Chemical Weathering Effects on the Dynamic Mechanical Properties of Black Shale Slip Zone under Acid Erosion Action [PDF]
LithosphereWater-rock interaction and intense chemical weathering often lead to stiffness reduction of the slip zone inside the rock slope, which plays a significant role in the evolution of slip zone, especially for the clay-type rock in acidic environment.

Application of discontinuity layout optimization to plane plasticity problems [PDF]
, 2007 A new and potentially widely applicable numerical analysis procedure for continuum mechanics problems is described. The procedure is used here to determine the critical layout of discontinuities and associated upper-bound limit load for plane plasticity ...

Buried shallow fault slip from the South Napa earthquake revealed by near-field geodesy. [PDF]
, 2017 Earthquake-related fault slip in the upper hundreds of meters of Earths surface has remained largely unstudied because of challenges measuring deformation in the near field of a fault rupture.
