Landslides are serious geohazards that occur under a variety of climatic conditions and can
cause many casualties and significant economic losses. Centrifuge modelling, as a …

Wadell roundness is a general particle shape descriptor used in many fields, such as mining
engineering, civil engineering, and geotechnical engineering. Initially, Wadell roundness …

Understanding the failure process of bottom-saturated loess slopes is of great significance in
loess areas where flood irrigation is commonly utilized to alleviate the scarcity of …

Existing FE methods have significant limitations in simulating the stability of low-angle, low-
shear-strength submarine slopes with engineering structures such as monopiles. Therefore …

Submarine slope instabilities are considered one of the major threats for offshore buried
pipelines. This paper presents a novel method to evaluate the ultimate pressure acting on a …

This paper re-evaluates the Edenville earth dam that failed in 2020 after a rapid rise in
reservoir level caused by prolonged significant rainfall. The dam instability and possibility of …

The numerical simulation-based strength reduction method has frequently been applied to
analyze slope stability, showing that slope failure characteristics caused by the decrease in …

Many flood protection dams in Europe were built more than 100 years ago. These dams
often do not meet current flood protection requirements due to increased level of safety …

Materials, Sensing and Manufacturing are important parameters for developing physical
models. Here the novelties in the three fields are explored, particularly concerning 3D …
