Post-slide investigations suggest that many large-scale submarine landslides occur through
marine sensitive clay layers. A nonlinear mathematical model for post-peak degradation of …

It is generally recognized that the stress-induced anisotropy of undrained cohesive soil has
a significant influence on the factor of safety of slopes. In this study, a simplified method is …

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 …

We examined the normal and tangential contact behaviour of gouge materials between
nominally flat quartz grains using micromechanical experiments. Primary mixtures of plastic …

A large landslide in Tuve (Gothenburg, Sweden, 1977) initiated the development of a model
for slope stability analysis taking the deformation-softening of soft sensitive clays into …

The railway network on coastal areas of Finland is predominantly located in soft clay areas.
The undrained shear strength of such clays is generally low, highly anisotropic, and rate …

Pile driving can trigger slope failure, specifically in sensitive soil deposits or marginally
stable slopes. Cases of slope failure during pile installation have been reported in countries …

Many geomaterials exhibit a reduction in strength after attaining their peak strength states.
This behavior, also known as strain softening, has commonly been attributed to reductions in …

Retrogressive or progressive landslides in slopes with highly sensitive quick clays may
extend several hundred metres from where the slide was initiated. Reintroducing high salt …
