Rainfall‐induced flowslides and the subsequent debris flows are the most recurrent and
destructive natural hazards due to their high velocity and long‐distance runout. It is widely …

The effect of time on soil properties, noticeable in many earthworks, is recognized by
geotechnicians. For example, secondary compression and aging pre-consolidation are …

The present paper presents a study of a particular instability mechanism observed in coastal
ranges of southeastern Brazil. It consists of the failure of a saturated soil slope hit by a rock …

In order to mitigate mistakes, an automated slump test apparatus was developed for
obtaining the slump measurement. Initially, tests involving eight different compositions of …

In this work an approach to representing debris floods and flows is proposed, based on a
depth-integrated mathematical model and smooth particle hydrodynamics numerical …

The slump flow test is a widespread, frequently used and standardized test of workability
and especially consistency in the field of concrete processing. While good quality …

The aim of this work was to conduct a rheological assessment of mortars based on the
automated slump test. Using this test to monitor the transient and permanent regime of …

Submarine debris flows are events that occur with great frequency on a geological scale and
can cause major damage to offshore structures or even loss of human life. Understanding …

Debris flows are among the most destructive types of mass movements throughout the world
and are not restricted to certain climate zones or geological environments. In opposite …

Numerical and empirical studies of soil slurry transport and deposition in urban stormwater
sewers are few, presumably due to the difficulty of direct observation of soil slurry flow in …
