The disintegration of red-bed mudstone is likely affected by the environment. Acid rain can
significantly influence the disintegration process, but the corresponding mechanism remains …

The discrete element method (DEM) coupled with the pore-scale finite volume (PFV) method
was used to simulate the suffusion and post-suffusion behavior of gap-graded soil with …

In this study, a rigorous mathematical approach used to compute an effective diameter
based on particle size distribution (PSD) has been presented that can predict the hydraulic …

Landslide dam is one of the main types of barrier dams, whose structure is loose and
stability is poor. Once seepage failure occurs, it will threaten the life and property safety of …

The particle size distribution (PSD) curve is an important expression of the basic properties
of the soil. The characteristic parameters such as median particle size D 50, effective particle …

The strong spatial nonuniformity of dam soil is a key factor for studying the safety and
stability of landslide dams. In this paper, a 500× 500× 500 mm cubic model box was made …

Suffusion can occur when fine particles are under low effective stress and free to travel
through constrictions between coarse particles, and sufficient seepage forces move the fine …

This study reports on a series of pressure gradient-controlled long-term hydraulic tests on
ten sand-gravel mixtures. It is observed that the cumulative statistical distribution of soil …

Internal erosion is an important process that affects the stability of a fill dam. Suffusion and
suffosion, also known as internal instability, are forms of internal erosion. Suffusion involves …

In recent times the demand for railway transportation has increased rapidly all over the world
because a sustainable mode of transportation is needed to convey passengers and other …
