For the deformation and evaluation of reservoir accumulative landslide, it is of great
significance to study the strength characteristics of slip zone soils under rainfall and …

Natural rock often suffers from cyclic wetting–drying involving different water types, and the
resulting deterioration may differ from laboratory tests using distilled water or salt solutions …

Soil-rock mixture (SRM) shows complicated mechanical behaviors due to their complex
compositions and structures, leading to challenging instability problems during the …

A loose slope structure and multiple free faces in a step-like landform are important
engineering geological factors that cause multistage landslides. Tensile cracks that develop …

Cyclic wetting–drying can greatly influence rock properties such that a significant decrease
in mechanical strength can be expected for a rock undergoing wetting–drying cycles (Zhou …

Catastrophic landslides with basal shear zones usually involve a number of mechanisms
that are poorly understood. One mechanism issue is the transition from slow sliding to fast …

A soil–rock mixture (SRM) is a type of heterogeneous geomaterial, and the particle
distribution of SRM can be described by fractal theory. At present, it is difficult to quantify the …

To essentially explore and quantitatively clarify the mesoscopic failure mechanism of deep
weak interlayer zone (WIZ) induced by complex stress levels and stress paths (ie, particle …

Fault activity is a factor causing geological disasters and controlling their spatial distribution.
The information on fault activity can be recorded by the microstructure of the fault gouge …

Abstract In Niigata, Japan, many landslides have occurred in Tertiary rocks. Although most
of these landslides were slow-moving, some underwent catastrophic failure, and different …
