Random Finite-Element Analysis of Slope Considering Strength Anisotropy and Spatial Variability of Soil
(ASCE, 2024/05/01)Soil is a complex material that exhibits both spatial variability and anisotropy. For simplicity, the traditional approach for analyzing slope stability often assumes that soil is homogeneous or isotropic, which can lead ... -
Physical Model-Based Landslide Susceptibility Mapping of Himalayan Highways Considering the Coupled Effect of Rainfall and Earthquake
(ASCE, 2024/08/01)The impact of earthquake-induced landslides is a global concern, particularly in the Himalayas and its nearby region, leading to substantial socioeconomic losses. High seismicity along with intense rainfall and steep slopes ... -
Understanding Glacial Lake Evolution and the Associated GLOF Hazard in the Shyok Catchment of the Upper Indus Basin Using Geospatial Techniques
(ASCE, 2024/08/01)As glaciers recede in response to global climate change, significant growth of glacial lakes is being witnessed in the Himalayan region. Owing to their high elevations, rapid growth, and their occurrence behind loosely ... -
Numerical Simulation of Flowslide Considering Transient Seepage Flow and Progressive State Transition
(ASCE, 2024/05/01)Flowslides are rapid gravity-driven flows of sediment-water mixture that typically occur following slope failures in soils, tailings, and municipal solid wastes, but the progressive state transition during the evolution ... -
Stability Assessment of Shallow Soil Landslide and Activating Rainfall Threshold
(ASCE, 2024/05/01)The transient rainfall infiltration and grid-based regional slope-stability (TRIGRS)-Scoops three-dimensional (3D) coupling model combines the influences of rainfall infiltration and 3D topography on slope safety. However, ... -
Positive Psychological Predictors of Preparedness for Tornadoes, Structural Fires, and Large-Scale Disease Outbreaks: A Study of US University Students and Employees
(ASCE, 2024/08/01)Individuals often underestimate disaster risk and overestimate their own preparedness, even for disasters they have experienced. Considering the varied effects of prior disaster exposure on preparedness, the psychological ... -
Collaborative Relationship Modeling and Analysis of Natech Emergency Response Organizations Based on Stochastic Petri Net
(ASCE, 2024/05/01)Natural hazard-triggered technological accidents (Natechs) are a type of multihazard coupled event with complex disaster evolution trends and serious consequences, resulting in high difficulty in collaborative responses. ... -
