In the alpine environment, rainfall-induced shallow landslides can involve thin covers of
colluvial soil (50–300 cm) on terraced belts that were formed as a result of fill-and-cut …

Damage or deterioration of water distribution or storm water drain pipeline systems create a
problem of leakage, which has the potential to erode its surrounding soil. This erosion, if not …

The load-bearing capacity of pebble aggregates plays a pivotal role in influencing the
operational performance of uncontrolled trucks on arrester beds. The complexity of this …

To gain a deeper understanding of the fundamental characteristics of internal forces and
deformations in the directional distribution of granular materials, it is necessary to investigate …

Internal instability establishes when fine particles of bimodal soil migrate with seepage flow
into voids created by coarse fabric, altering the original gradation. The tendency for soils to …

Fluidisation in saturated subgrades of transport infrastructure is a huge problem in many
countries around the world caused by dynamic cyclic loads due to heavy haul trains on …

Abstract The Discrete Element Method (DEM) has proven useful to capture the micro and
macro behaviour of soils. The complex micromechanical characteristics associated with …
