Failure mechanism, existing constitutive models and numerical modeling of landslides in sensitive clay: a review

ZA Urmi, A Saeidi, RVP Chavali, A Yerro - Geoenvironmental Disasters, 2023 - Springer
Landslides involving sensitive clays are recurrent events in the world's northern regions and
are especially notorious in eastern Canada. The two critical factors that separate sensitive …

[HTML][HTML] Prediction of retrogressive landslide in sensitive clays by incorporating a novel strain softening law into the Material Point Method

ZA Urmi, A Yerro, A Saeidi, RVP Chavali - Engineering Geology, 2024 - Elsevier
Sensitive clays, when subjected to large strains, exhibit a unique strain-softening behavior,
transforming into a remolded liquid with remarkably low shear strength. When a slope fails …

Numerical investigations of the failure mechanism of spreading landslides

J Shen, Q Chen, L Wang… - Canadian Geotechnical …, 2023 - cdnsciencepub.com
Spreading landslides are geohazards that often occur in sensitive clay areas. A unique
characteristic of the spreads is that an initial small local slope failure may cause a …
