In our study, we analyzed the combined standard uncertainty of water table slope assessment done using differential global positioning system (DGPS)-based measurements of water table elevation and ...

The weak interlayer in a rock slope often plays a significant role in seismic rockslides; however, the effect of weak interlayer on the seismic slope response and damage process is still not fully ...

Abstract: During earthquakes, the groundwater table impacts on the dynamic stability of soil slope heavily. In order to discover it, the No.6 landslide of Toholu line in Japan as an example, ...

This study proposes a seismic input method for layered slope sites exposed to obliquely-incident seismic waves which transforms the waves into equivalent nodal forces that act on the truncated ...
