Rainfall-induced soil slope failures are among the most frequent and widespread landslides
in the world. The infiltration of water plays a critical role in the instability of slopes under …

Understanding the soil–root mechanical interaction is crucial to advancing the utilisation of
vegetation as a nature-based approach to designing more stable slopes and resilient urban …

This state-of-the-art covers advances in the constitutive modelling, experimental
investigation and field measurement of suction for unsaturated soils. It consists of three …

Excavation leads to unloading rebound and stress redistribution in the soil of a slope near
the excavation face. The process of reequilibrium of the stress is followed by large …

The seismic behavior of pile-supported systems has been an active area of research over
the past decades. However, focus has mostly been on evaluating the seismic response of …

A set of dynamic centrifuge experiments was performed to assess the effect of the depth of
the groundwater table on the seismic site response and kinematic interaction of a foundation …

An emerging foundation design scheme, termed a rocking foundation, has the potential to
limit loads transmitted to the superstructure, with the potential trade-off of increased …

Recently, progress has been made toward understanding the seismic response of structures
placed on unsaturated soil layers. A missing link, however, involves the influence and …

Kinematic interaction transfer functions, defined as the ratio of foundation input motion to
free field motion, are commonly applied, while the motion measured at the foundation may …
