This study investigates the displacement-dependent lateral earth pressure of sandy soil in
active state. 3D DEM numerical simulations of plane strain unloading test (unloading in the …

This paper investigates the critical stability of purely cohesive soil (ϕ= 0) slopes under
seismic conditions using a novel concept of the critical slope surface (CSS). A theoretical …

The limiting stability of finite rock slopes is assessed in this paper by implementing the stress
characteristics method (SCM) alongside the generalized Hoek‒Brown (GHB) yield criterion …

The resilience and performance of quay walls during devastating events such as tsunamis
and earthquake are critical for coastal infrastructure. Conventional design standards mostly …

The entrance and exit of loess tunnel are easily affected by freezing and thawing, which
leads to collapse in cold regions. Based on the slip line network method, this paper …

A method for computing slip-line fields in the case of cohesionless backfills with stress
discontinuity was proposed. The potential failure zone is divided into the Rankine zone and …
