Two dimensional slope profile morphometric investigation in a part of the land failure prone Garhwal region of the Lesser Himalaya, Tehri district, U. P., India, indicates that the landslip morphology is closely related to the dominant movement processes active in this terrain. Technique developed for the morphometric analysis of landslips involves the use of five morphometric indices. Each ind...

The variation of pore gas pressure caused by rainfall infiltration is an important factor that leads to slope failures. purpose this study propose a new stability analysis method considers and examines the effect airflow on using numerical method. A water-air two-phase flow was conducted investigate distribution air pressure, water saturation triggered infiltration. Then load resulting from inc...

LS is a very important factor in erosion evaluation. Slope gradient and slope length is used to calculate LS factor. However a major limitation is the difficulty in extracting the LS factor at regional landscape scales. The geographic information systembased (GIS-based) methods which have been developed for estimating the slope length for USLE and RUSLE model also have limitations. he unit cont...

We consider the estimation of the slope function in functional linear regression, where scalar responses are modeled in dependence of random functions. Cardot and Johannes [2010] have shown that a thresholded projection estimator can attain up to a constant minimax-rates of convergence in a general framework which allows to cover the prediction problem with respect to the mean squared predictio...

[Purpose] This study examined the effects of ramp slope (1:12, 1:10, 1:8, and 1:6) on physiological characteristics and performance times of wheelchair users and the performance times of caregivers to determine which slope would be the best for wheelchairs, in order to propose a ramp slope that incorporates a universal design. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-four healthy subjects were enrolled in...

A systematic method is presented for evaluating the slope safety utilizing multi-source monitoring information. First, a Bayesian network with continuously distributed variables for a slope involving the factor of safety, multiple monitoring indexes and their influencing parameters (e.g. friction angle and cohesion) is constructed. Then the prior probabilities for the Bayesian network are quant...

We give a “second generation” exposition of the slope filtration theorem for modules with Frobenius action over the Robba ring, providing a number of simplifications in the arguments. Some of these are inspired by parallel work of Hartl and Pink, which points out some analogies with the formalism of stable vector bundles.

Even though there exist lots of documents on Finite Element Strength Reduction Method, cohesion and internal friction angle in these materials are reduced through the same reduction factor, which fails to reflect either of their safe reserving quality or the quality to precisely match slope failure process and mechanism. As is known, the exterior angle circumcircle yield criterion DP1 of the ge...
