Abstract: Precipitation is one of the most important factors inducing shallow slope failures, and the shallow slope covering bedrocks is prone to instability after heavy rainfall. In one-dimensional (1D) seepage–deformation coupling ...

Abstract: Irregular topographies are widely distributed in nature, particularly in mountainous areas. The cliff on the canyon top forming over long periods of geological evolution significantly influences the amplification or reduction ...

Abstract: Seismic wave propagation is affected by both irregular surface terrains and underground tunnels, resulting in the amplification or attenuation of ground motion. Hence, it is crucial to tackle the scattering issue of plane ...

Abstract: Many underground structures have been constructed beneath irregular topographies, and tunnels traversing canyons are particularly common. Seismic waves propagation is affected by surface irregular topographies and underground ...

Abstract: Rock brittleness plays an important role in rock engineering, thus it is practically valuable to assess rock brittleness accurately. Many brittleness indices have been developed, but few methods are developed for layered ...
