DOI: 10.1016/j.enggeo.2019.105221
Abstract: Abstract Weathering and degradation of slope materials govern erosion and stability of slopes over time. Weathering is often ignored or over-simplified in engineering due to absence of time-series of material properties and uncertainty on future… read more here.
