Wetting deformation has a significant impact on dam safety, and is one of the leading causes of the long-term deformation of dams. For dams to operate safely, it is crucial to precisely estimate the extent of wetting deformation using a reasonable calcul...

Large-scale lifelines in seismic-prone regions very frequently cross areas that are characterized by active tectonic faulting, as complete avoidance might be techno-economically unfeasible. The resulting Permanent Ground Displacements (PGDs) constitute a...

Internal erosion refers to the seepage-induced fine particle migration phenomenon in soil. Deep alluviums in valleys usually contain cohesionless gap-graded sandy gravels with poor internal stability. The construction of embankment dams on such alluviums...

When the numerical analysis of a long lined tunnel is carried out, the calculation amount of the finite element model becomes restricted large-scale parameter analysis. In this paper, an efficient and high-precision 2.5-dimensional (2.5D) frequency-domai...

Drought is a widespread and destructive natural hazard and is projected to occur more frequently and intensely, with more severe impacts in a changing environment. In this study, we used the standardized precipitation index (SPI) at various time scales (...
