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 …

A set of simple finite-element modelling procedures that can be used to estimate the load–
settlement behaviour of continuous helical displacement (CHD) piles in sand is presented …

-Geomechanical and geohydraulic engineering is a promising study area with several
emerging research concerns. Most of such problems requires advanced level of …

This paper provides an overview of the characteristics of soil structure in excavation support
systems and the use of numerical modeling to analyze these systems. It highlights the …

The choice of an adequate soil constitutive model in a dynamic soil-structure interaction
(SSI) problem has always been a challenge. Linear-elastic and elastic-perfectly plastic Mohr …

Due to the trend toward building tunnels, roads, parking garages, and most of the services, it
has become necessary to study the methods of supporting the soil and know the quality of …

High plastic expansive clays when subjected to different climatic conditions undergo large
ground movements causing distress to infrastructures including bridges, pavements …

Simulate the test on a masonry barrel arch bridge that was developed at the Structural
Technology Lab of the UPC. The arch was tested up to failure. Complete characterisation of …

Shallow cutting failures are the main cause of derailments on the UK railway lines. These
failures are triggered by intense rainfall and occur fast, with no previous warning. Frequently …
