Multi-field information monitoring is useful to better understand the deformation and failure
behaviour of landslides. Therefore, in this study, a physical slope model under excavation …

Excavation is one of the common triggers for slope failures. Loss of support at the toe of a
slope due to mining excavation can cause unloading of geomaterials close to the excavated …

Physical modelling is a useful method to examine how landslides deform and fail at the
laboratory scale. Reliable and accurate measurement systems are required for landslide …

Bimrocks are complex geological mixtures of strong blocks and weak matrix occurring
various geological environments such as melanges, fault rocks and weathered rocks …

Physical model tests are considered to be useful tools and are widely used in landslide
research. The three-dimensional (3D) surface deformation of slope models provides useful …

Granular materials used in engineering structures tend to experience arching under different
geotechnical factors. Arching is a factor of load transfer from the destroyed zone to stable …

A stability analysis of a laterally confined slope model, lying on an inclined bedding plane,
was presented to evaluate the lateral shear resistance by considering the loading paths and …

A three-dimensional slope stability analysis is necessary when the effects of the lateral
boundary and the toe support on the load transfer can substantially change the failure mode …

The estimation of passive thrust, which causes toe failure when the mass above the toe of a
slope experiences compression due to downslope movement, is necessary for both physical …

Abstract Evaluation of ground behavior due to tunneling is a key factor in designing and
construction of tunnels, especially in soft grounds. In this study, a physical model setup has …
