Undrained dynamic-loading ring-shear apparatus and its application to landslide dynamics

K Sassa, H Fukuoka, G Wang, N Ishikawa - Landslides, 2004 - Springer
Landslides are gravitational mass movements of rock, debris or earth. Some move very
slowly, thus conforming to the field of statics, but some move rapidly. Study of the initiation …

Study of the 1920 Haiyuan earthquake-induced landslides in loess (China)

D Zhang, G Wang - Engineering Geology, 2007 - Elsevier
Many large-scale landslides induced by earthquakes have been reported in loess soils.
