Abstract: Landslides triggered by rainfall are a major multiple geological hazard on Qin-ba Mountain. Debris landslides in the shallow layer make up a large proportion of all landslides. A flume experiment was conducted to successfully ...

Abstract: Abstract Unique physical and mechanical characteristics of unsaturated loess in the northwest region of China, including high compression and wetting behaviors, challenge the construction of engineering structures. To ...

Abstract: Abstract The purpose of this research is to develop a numerical model for one-dimensional consolidation of saturated poroelastic media with compressible components while accounting for porosity-dependent compressibility ...

Abstract: Young loess deposits are the most well-known collapsible soils because of their small unit masses, high void ratios, and open metastable structures. Properly assessing the collapse of loess sites covered by very thick ...

Abstract: A commonly acknowledged barrier for the adoption of new computer-assisted orthopedic surgery (CAOS) technologies relates to a perceived long and steep learning curve. However, this perception has not been objectively tested ...
