In the most destructive and catastrophic landslide events, rocks, soil and fluids can travel at
speeds approaching several tens of metres per second. However, many landslides …

Glaciation and deglaciation, along with their associated climatic and non-climatic processes,
modify slope stresses and influence slope stability. Paraglacial slope failures are those that …

Intensification of agriculture leads to stress on the environment and subsequently can have
strong societal and ecological impacts. In deserts, areas of very high sensitivity to land-use …

Deep-seated gravitational slope deformations (DSGSDs) are slow moving, hillslope-scale
mass movements featuring characteristic landforms such as double-crested ridges and …

The ages of 31 postglacial rock-slope failures (RSFs) in Scotland and NW Ireland, derived
from 89 cosmogenic isotope exposure ages, are employed to analyse the temporal pattern …

Geologic shear fractures such as faults and slip surfaces involve marked friction along the
discontinuities as they are subjected to significant confining pressures. This friction plays a …

In some existing nonlinear creep damage models, it may be less rigorous to directly
introduce a damage variable into the creep equation when the damage variable of the …

Although it is generally assumed that the internal structure of a slope (eg lithology and rock
mass properties, inherited faults and heterogeneities, etc.) is preponderant for the …

To better understand the creep mechanical behavior of deep soft rock coal seam and more
accurately predict the long-term deformation of the surrounding rock. Firstly, the electron …

In the Argentera massif (French Southern Alps), large active landslides develop along strike
of an active corridor of dextral strike-slip faults revealed by shallow ongoing seismicity …
