River-damming by landslides is a widespread phenomenon around the world. Recent
advances in remote sensing technology and the rising commercial availability of their …

Suffusion, the process of particle migration and clogging within porous media, exerts a
remarkable impact on various natural and engineered systems. Properties of the coarse …

Seepage-induced fine-particle migration that leads to a change in the conductivity of a soil
matrix is referred to as internal instability. This could jeopardize the structural integrity of the …

One of the major causes of instability in geotechnical structures such as dikes or earth dams
is the phenomenon of suffusion including detachment, transport and filtration of fine particles …

潜蚀的发生发展均位于不稳定土体内部, 隐蔽性强, 危害性大. 常规测试手段等均只能观测到仪器
壁面或者部分示踪粒子的运动轨迹, 无法观测到土体内部的颗粒移动, 严重阻碍了对潜蚀发生 …

Soil internal erosion refers to any process that the finer grains are eroded from the matrix of
coarser grains due to seepage. A coupled computational fluid dynamics and discrete …

The internal erosion of soils is a critical factor that can cause infiltration damage in slope and
embankment works. Under conditions of heavy rainfall, storm surge, and waves, the soil is …

This paper attempts to formulate a coupled practical model in the framework of continuum
mechanics to evaluate the phenomenon of internal erosion and its consequences on the …

Suffusion occurs when fines are plucked off by seepage forces and transported throughout
the pores of the matrix constituted by coarser soil particles. Natural or human made soils are …

This paper reports on a series of laboratory hydraulic tests on a select range of granular
soils compacted at relative densities between 0% and 100%. The critical hydraulic gradient …
