The material point method (MPM) has been gaining increasing popularity as an appropriate
approach to the solution of coupled hydro-mechanical problems involving large deformation …

Background The landslides of the flow-type are dangerous and also challenging to study. A
wide literature has been investigating the principal mechanisms governing each stage in …

Numerical modelling, particularly fully-coupled hydro-mechanical large-deformation models,
greatly helps in properly simulating the complex failure and post-failure mechanisms of …

Rainfall-induced landslides are a major geohazard worldwide, which involve a complicated
process, starting from rainfall infiltration, to landslide triggering and initiation, and post-failure …

The results of an analysis concerning a landslide occurred in Calabria (Southern Italy) in
2014 are presented. This landslide was triggered by some excavations carried out at the …

This study investigates the occurrence and evolution of various slope failure modes during
large deformation in spatially variable soils using Monte Carlo simulation combined with …

This study presents a new formulation of smoothed particle finite element method (SPFEM)
for dynamic problems in two-phase saturated porous media. A node integration method is …

Abstract The 15 February 2010 Maierato landslide has become the symbol of the
hydrogeological instability of the Calabria region (Southern Italy). It occurred after a long …

The spatial variability is an inherent characteristic of soils. In addition to isotropic and
transversely anisotropic soils, rotated anisotropic soils can also be observed in nature owing …

The stability of the tunnel face has been an important issue investigated by many scholars.
To fully study the failure evolution of tunnel face and the hydro-mechanical behavior of …
