On the reliability assessment of a controlled dyke failure

T de Gast, MA Hicks, AP Van den Eijnden… - …, 2021 - icevirtuallibrary.com
A reliability-based analysis framework, accounting for uncertainty arising from the spatial
variability of soil properties, has been validated for the controlled, well-instrumented slope …

Estimating spatial correlations under man-made structures on soft soils

T de Gast, PJ Vardon, MA Hicks - Geo-Risk 2017, 2017 - ascelibrary.org
The vertical spatial correlation functions, under and next to a pre-existing dyke on a soft soil,
have been estimated using cone penetration test (CPT) data. Distinct differences were found …

Effect of hysteresis on the stability of an embankment under transient seepage

K Liu, PJ Vardon, P Arnold… - IOP Conference Series …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
Hysteresis is a well-known phenomenon that exists in the soil water retention behaviour of
unsaturated soils. However, there is little research on the effects of hysteresis on slope …
