This study uses laboratory experiment to clarify the failure mechanism of granular soil slopes when subjected to high rainfall intensity. A rainfall simulator was employed to perform tests on slopes with convex and concave profiles; the slopes were non- homogeneous ...

<p>The studies being introduced here will aim to develop an analytical description of liquefaction potential of silty soils to be able to define the condition indicators to subdivide the mechanism leading to strain hardening, strain softening and, in the worst ...
