This paper employs an optimization algorithm called the salp swarm algorithm (SSA) for the
parameter estimation of the soil water retention curve model. The SSA simulates the …

This paper aimed to study the soil–water characteristics and stability evolution law of rainfall-
induced landslide. Taking the two landslide events in Siwan village as an example, the …

Shallow slope failures occur almost every year during the rainy season. Continuous
observation of the meteorological parameters and hydrological characteristics is required to …

Water flow in porous media is strongly controlled by the microscale structure of the pore
space. Therefore, understanding the dynamics at pore scale is fundamental to better …

Because of factors such as plant root action, soil capillary action, and evapotranspiration, the
soil near the surface of a slope tends to be drier and in an unsaturated state. However, when …

To describe the water retention and transfer properties of an unsaturated soil over the whole
range of matric suction, it is necessary to account for both capillary and adsorption …

Abstract Yunnan Province of China is located in the southwest frontier, with high altitude,
fragile geological environment, uneven spatial and temporal distribution of rainfall, and more …

The relative hydraulic conductivity is one of the key parameters for unsaturated soils in
numerous fields of geotechnical engineering. The quantitative description of its variation law …

While landslides have been extremely researched, there is a notable gap in the literature
regarding the combined impact of precipitation-induced and earthquake-induced landslide …

Green architecture, including green roofs, can limit the effects of urbanization. Green roofs
soften the thermal effect in urban conditions, especially considering the significant increase …
