A state-of-the-art review has been conducted in this work on soil constitutive modeling,
which has emphasized on: soil type, ground-water conditions, loading conditions, structural …

Rainfall-induced landslides pose a significant threat to the public safety in many parts of the
world especially in tropical or subtropical mountainous areas. The research field of …

The mechanical behavior of unsaturated soils can be interpreted using either modified total
stress or a modified effective stress approach depending on the type of soils and various …

This paper presents a model for rainfall-induced shallow landslides, revealing the failure
mechanism from initiation of instability to final flow failure. The onset of slope failure occurs …

Multiple types of responses, such as displacements, ground water level, pore water
pressures, water contents, etc., are usually measured in comprehensive monitoring …

A new hybrid discrete–continuum numerical approach that explores the key advantages of
both discrete and continuum approaches is proposed to model unsaturated seepage flows …

Soil-fluid retention (SFR) is considered a fundamental unsaturated property with a wide
application from transient flow analysis, and strength prediction to constitutive modeling …

Rainfall infiltration in an unsaturated soil slope induces loss of suction (and even positive
pore-water pressures), which can eventually lead to failure. This paper investigates the …

The evolution of loess microstructure exerts a direct impact on its collapse evolution during
dry and wet (DW) cycles. In this study, a hydro-mechanical coupling numerical model …

During rainfall, collapse compression predominates due to the slippage of particles,
resulting in the rearrangement of soil fabric toward a configuration dependent on the fabric …
