Hydromechanical behaviour and stability of reservoir landslides in the Danjiangkou Reservoir area under rainfall and water level fluctuation

Effects of rainfall intensity and slope gradient on shallow loess landslides: flume model test and numerical simulation

Rainfall-Induced Slope Stability and Deformation around Rajui Dam Infrastructure Using Finite Element Analysis

Rainfall-induced slope instability poses a significant risk to dam infrastructure in tropical regions, where intense and prolonged precipitation frequently alters subsurface stress conditions. This study aims to evaluate the effects of rainfall infiltration on slope stability in the Rajui Dam area, Aceh, Indonesia, by...

Characteristics and triggering mechanism of buoyancy-driven and seepage-driven landslides: insights from physical model tests

Geosynthetic reinforcement and drainage in fine-grained embankments under rainfall

The increasing use of locally sourced fine-grained soils in embankment construction increases susceptibility to rainfall-induced instability due to low permeability, high water retention and limited shear strength. This study investigates the coupled reinforcement–drainage behaviour of geosynthetics in fine-grained emb...

An Unsaturated Soil Material Point Method for Simulating Rainfall-Induced Landslides

Rainfall infiltration frequently triggers slope failures by elevating pore water pressure and compromising the shear strength of unsaturated soil layers. Modeling these severe geological events remains computationally challenging. Standard grid-based techniques, such as the Finite Element Method (FEM), typically fail d...

Deformation behaviour of over-consolidated soil in a deep confined aquifer under multi-stage pore pressure changes in Shanghai, China.

Shanghai, a typical coastal soft-soil area, is characterised by thick soft layers with high compressibility and low permeability. Together with five confined aquifers, these layers form a complex multi-aquifer system. Historically, excessive deep groundwater extraction caused severe land subsidence. However, after year...
