Landslides are considered a natural process, with hundreds of events occurring every year
in many regions of the world. However, human activities can significantly affect how stable a …

We present two case studies of rainfall-induced failure of engineered slopes. The traditional
limit equilibrium and finite element methods are expanded to unsaturated conditions using a …

This paper presents an exhaustive review of the challenges faced in the construction of road
embankments on soft ground and proposes a direction for future development. Frequently …

Groundwater is a critical factor influencing the evolution of high-filling loess slopes (HLS).
This study examines how long-term seasonal fluctuations in groundwater (SFG) influence …

Because recurrent rainfall-induced landslide episodes mimic prior failures, this study builds
a back-analysis approach to identify those prior failure events and assess the prospective …

With a suction stress–based effective stress representation, stability analysis of unsaturated
engineered and natural slopes can be performed effectively in the same manner as the …

This paper investigates rainfall-induced landslides on partially saturated soil slopes using
the 2011 Umyeonsan landslides at the center of Seoul, Korea. An integrated analysis of …

This paper presents a case study and numerical investigation of two unstable unsaturated
slopes along the Taipei Maokong Gondola system. One slope collapsed because of …

A rainfall-induced landslide occurred in the north highwall of the Fushun west open pit at 5:
00 (UTC+ 8) on July 26, 2016, in China. The landslide was about 3.1× 106 m3 and caused …

Agricultural irrigation in the Loess Plateau induces many loess landslides. Long-term flood
irrigation is frequent on the top platform of loess slopes, where many landslides occur. To …
