Abstract: Infiltration-induced landslides are among the most common natural disasters threatening modern civilization, but conventional methods for studying the triggering mechanisms and predicting the occurrence of these slides are ...

Abstract: To experimentally validate a recently developed theory for predicting the stability of cut slopes under unsaturated conditions, the authors measured increasing strain localization in unsaturated slope cuts prior to abrupt ...

Abstract: A method directly using rainfall records to predict a slope’s potential instability is devised. The method consists of three sequential steps: identifying the critical suction stress (pore water pressure when soil is ...
