As one of the arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian methods, the material point method (MPM)
owns intrinsic advantages in simulation of large deformation problems by combining the …

Landslides involving sensitive clays are recurrent events in the world's northern regions and
are especially notorious in eastern Canada. The two critical factors that separate sensitive …

In the present study a novel approach of practical interest is proposed to perform a predictive
analysis of the landslides in sensitive clays. Specifically, this approach allows a prediction of …

This paper presents a Lagrangian formulation of elastoviscoplasticity, on the basis of the
particle finite element method, for progressive failure analysis of sensitive clays. The …

This paper presents a detailed numerical study of the retrogressive failure of landslides in
sensitive clays. The dynamic modelling of the landslides is carried out using a novel …

Flowslide and spread are two common types of landslides in sensitive clays. Empirical
criteria, based on single or multiple soil properties and slope geometry, have been proposed …

Sensitive clays are known for producing retrogressive landslides, also called spread or
flowslides. The key characteristics associated with the occurrence of these landslides on a …

Unlike typical soils, sensitive clays undergo extensive post-peak strength degradation with
increasing strain and finally disintegrate into a remolded liquid state. Realization of post …

This work presents the results of plane strain tests carried out at the Laboratoire 3SR
Grenoble (France) on undisturbed samples of very sensitive Norwegian soft clay. Discussion …

Landslides in sensitive clays represent a major hazard in the northern countries of the world
such as Canada, Finland, Norway, Russia, Sweden and in the US state of Alaska. Examples …
