The goal of this article is to revise several aspects of the well-known classification of
landslides, developed by Varnes (1978). The primary recommendation is to modify the …

Landslides or questions related to slope stability are usually considered in the framework of
plastic limit analyses. Recent progress has made it possible to describe some failure modes …

Slope stability analysis, based on the continuum mechanics assumption and finite element
analysis, generally uses a plasticity criterion to describe the failure mechanism. In this paper …

This article illustrates an experimental study of clay mineral characterization conducted with
the aid of the methylene blue" stain" test, which yields a semiquantitative evaluation of the …

Deep-seated mass movements currently comprise one of the main morphogenetic
processes in the Flysch Belt of the Western Carpathians of Central Europe. These mass …

The paper presents the results of an experimental study on the mechanical behavior of a
marly clay, motivated by the recurrent episodes of slope failure induced by intense rainfall …

Stiff jointed clays (SJC) belong to so-called structurally complex formations in which the
