Landslides are serious geohazards that occur under a variety of climatic conditions and can
cause many casualties and significant economic losses. Centrifuge modelling, as a …

The stability of landslides in reservoir areas is significantly influenced by water level
fluctuations and seasonal precipitation events. To mitigate these landslides, a pile-anchor …

This state-of-the-art covers advances in the constitutive modelling, experimental
investigation and field measurement of suction for unsaturated soils. It consists of three …

High water contents and poor compaction during construction have been reported to cause
severe embankment damage during earthquakes. In this paper, a fully coupled soil-water-air …

Understanding the failure mechanism of geosynthetic-reinforced embankments on soft
foundations is crucial for ensuring safety in design. This study aimed to investigate the …

Over the last 40 years, there have been several ship losses carrying granular mineral ores
that are believed to have been caused by the sudden shifting of the cargo as a result of …

In Japan, most of the existing railway earth structures were constructed before the
development of the technical standards for design and construction. This suggests the risk of …

Centrifuge and numerical modeling are developed to investigate the behavior of a
homogeneous embankment constructed on a liquefiable sand ground, which was prepared …

The traditional method of tracking the deformation of centrifugal dam model involves burying
marker points on the sidewalls, which is commonly used. However, the method is inaccurate …

In Japan, a large number of old small earth dams are in critical need of repair due to leakage
and poor earthquake resistance. In addition to cohesive soils, geosynthetic clay liners …
