Numerical modelling, particularly fully-coupled hydro-mechanical large-deformation models,
greatly helps in properly simulating the complex failure and post-failure mechanisms of …

Numerous paleolandslide dams are distributed along the upper reaches of the Jinsha River
under the special geological setting of the Tibetan Plateau. A field investigation revealed …

The discrete element method (DEM) has been widely used in landslide research. However,
selecting microscopic parameters is complicated due to the diversity and complexity of …

Geological disasters, especially landslides, frequently occur in Enshi County, Hubei
Province, China. On 21 July 2020, a large-scale landslide occurred in Enshi due to …

The particle essence of the discrete element method could prevent the rock block from
sliding on the slope surface due to the stress concentration between the convex particles of …

Soil-rock mixed accumulation bodies produced by rainfall, earthquake or early landslides
tend to have unconsolidated structure and poor stability, and are prone to failure under the …

The occurrence of earthquakes has been recognized as a natural disaster capable of
significantly impacting land use/cover change (LUCC) patterns. During the post-earthquake …

The tectonic joints in loess have an important controlling effect on the stability of loess
slopes, which are an essential factor in the study of loess slope seismic hazards. Based on …

Large ancient landslides are widely distributed in the Jinsha River suture zone of the SE
Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. Understanding how these landslides were triggered and moved is …

The present study provided a preliminary investigation on the kinetic and fragmentation
characteristics of the Xuzha rock avalanche, a ridge-top rock avalanche located in the …
