Abstract: Excavation of spillways at dam crest is one of the most commonly utilized and effective engineering practices to mitigate the risk of landslide dams. The influence of spillway section shape on the breaching process of ...

Abstract: Dikes made up of erodible geotechnical materials are easily broken by overtopping flow, which poses a serious threat to human lives and properties in protected areas. In this study, the plane breach of cohesionless dikes ...

Abstract: For hybrid finite elements based, for example, on complementary energy functional, polynomial trial functions of stress fields are required. Systematic schemes are given for the 2D and 3D ...

Abstract: The consolidated drained triaxial shear tests have been performed in this work to investigate the shearing behavior of calcareous sands sampled from the South China Sea, with the focus on analyzing the influence of particle ...

Abstract: With the increasing number of vehicles, the growing complexity of traffic environments has led to a rise in traffic pressure. As a critical hub connecting roads between cities, expressway traffic safety cannot be ignored. ...

Abstract: It is commonly accepted that the macroresponse of soil depends significantly on the microscopic particle characteristic features, such as size, shape, and roughness. These parameters can be obtained readily by dynamic image ...
