Abstract: Abstract Estimating landslide volume based on pre- and post-event elevation models without detailed field investigations is still a major challenge due to hidden failure surfaces. A MATLAB model named “SLIPFITTER” was developed to model failure… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijmecsci.2018.12.003
Abstract: Abstract Failure surfaces of foam materials in the principal-stress/strain space are quite different from those of dense materials. They cannot be deduced directly by several simple tests such as uniaxial loading and pure shear loading.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1155/2019/4672615
Abstract: This experimental study explains the contribution of embedment ratios, diameter ratios, and bell angles to uplift capacities of single-belled anchors and formation of nonlinear failure surfaces in homogeneous and layered sand deposits. Uplift capacities in… read more here.
