On the 4th and 5th of March 2005, about 100 rainfall-induced landslides occurred along volcanic slopes of Camaldoli Hill in Naples, Italy. These started as soil slips in the upper substratum of incoherent and welded volcaniclastic deposits, then evolved ...

The swelling-shrinkage behavior of expansive soils under climate changes will cause the crack development, which can be destructive of expansive soil slopes. This study investigated the effect of drying/wetting cycles on the stability of an expansive soi...

Slope disasters often include soil erosion and shallow landslides. These types of slope failure can occur in unsaturated soil. In this study, artificial rainfall is applied to a compacted soil slope in a laboratory to investigate the effects of rainfall ...

Broad mountainous areas in the western Campania (southern Italy), where young pyroclastic deposits extensively outcrop, frequently experience rainfall-induced slope movements of different degrees of mobility, causing heavy damage and fatalities. Such lan...

Preferential flow is widely developed in varieties of voids (such as macropores and fissures) in loess areas, affecting slope hydrology and stability and even leading to geological disasters. However, the model of seepage evolution with dynamic preferent...

This work presents a comprehensive coupled thermal-hydro-mechanical model to explore the frost heave mechanism of the concrete-lined canal under a freeze?thaw environment. Unlike previous models that regard concrete as a homogeneous material, this model ...

Shear modulus (SM) and damping ratio (DR) are significant in seismic design and the performance of geotechnical systems. The evaluation of soil reactions to dynamic loads, such as earthquakes, blasts, train, and traffic vibrations, necessitates the estim...

Hydraulic properties (such as soil?water characteristic curves (SWCC) and hydraulic conductivity function (HCF)) play an important role in evaluating the stability of unsaturated soil slopes. Loess soils are widely distributed in Gansu Province in China,...

In addition to the intensity of precipitation, the different hydraulic and mechanical properties of a soil hill can also be responsible for landslides. More specifically, the same rainfall amount can trigger or not trigger a mass movement depending on it...

Rainfall infiltration is the primary triggering factor of slope instability. The process of rainfall infiltration leads to changes in the water content and internal stress of the slope soil, thereby affecting slope stability. The soil water retention cur...
