Abstract: For some two-layered slopes subjected to the surcharge load, the soil mass undergoes rotational or translational movement. Thus, the conventional failure mechanism of homogeneous slopes is no longer applicable. To overcome ...

Abstract: Most studies try to establish a stress field and a compatible velocity field simultaneously to evaluate the seismic bearing capacity of strip footings placed adjacent to homogeneous soil slopes. However, the coupling of ...

Abstract: In cities, reinforced concrete pipes are often employed to construct storm sewer systems. Due to impervious base layers, stormwater runoff dominates rather than rainwater infiltration, leading to problems in aquatic ...
