Rainfall infiltration is considered as one of the most significant factors triggering slope instability a number failure occurrences have been documented during or immediately after rainfall. The rainfall-induced governed by complex interaction topographical, hydrological and geological conditions slopes. Hence inclination vital in determining stability under Although studies carried out to inv...

We model landslide initiation as slip surface growth driven by local elevated pore pressure, with particular reference to submarine slides. Assuming an elastic medium and friction that weakens with slip, solutions exist in which the slip surface may dynamically grow, without further pore pressure increases, at a rate of the order of the sediment shear wave speed, a situation comparable to earth...

6 Practical engineering applications of open channel flow modelling involve geometric terms 7 arising from variations in channel shape, bottom slope and friction. This paper presents the 8 family of schemes that satisfy the generalised C-property for which static equilibrium is a 9 particular case, in the framework of one-dimensional open channel flows. This approach, 10 named Auxiliary Variabl...

Water chemical analysis of 100 springs from the Orco and the Tinée valleys (Western Italy and Southern France) and a 7 year groundwater chemistry monitoring of the 5 main springs were performed. All these springs drain from crystalline rock slopes. Some of these drain from currently active gravitational slope deformations. All groundwaters flowing through presently unstable slopes show anomalie...

Abstract The Chezy formula for steady flow in a uniform symmetrical channel with constant slope-friction factor is mathematically examined. The problem of the determination of the channel shape above a reference level for a given rating curve of flow area vs discharge with a constant ratio (m) of slope to mean velocity above a reference level is posed and then solved. It is shown that there is ...

In this paper, a single-slope tunnel pipeline was analysed considering the effects of vertical earth pressure, horizontal soil pressure, inner pressure, thermal expansion force and pipeline-soil friction. The concept of stagnation point for the pipeline was proposed. Considering the deformation compatibility condition of the pipeline elbow, the push force of anchor blocks of a single-slope tunn...

Spatial patterns in geomorphic variations are examined in a river transition from the Southern Blue Ridge to the Piedmont physiographic regions. Downstream hydraulic geometry (DHG), fining of bed material, and changes in reach-scale channel-bed morphology (bedforms) were sampled and analyzed. DHG power functions were well developed (r > 0.75 for channel area, width, and depth). Bed material sho...

Slope failures are one of the most vital problems in geotechnical engineering applications which may cause damage both human life and financial. frequently observed especially regions where rainfall is high. The important factor affecting slope stabilities infiltration. It known that infilled soils generally unsaturated soil. Therefore, analysis infill slopes should be performed within scope so...

A two-dimensional hydrodynamic ice-slope interaction problem is formulated in this paper. The solution of this elastohydrodynamic problem will give the desired ice force. The main objective is to determine the influence that ice sheet velocity, slope angle, and ice-structure friction have on the ice force. A transition in failure mode is often observed to occur at a certain velocity (named the ...

Abstract Slope stability in reservoirs depends on time-dependent triggering factors such as fluctuations of the groundwater level and precipitation. This paper assesses reservoir slopes over time, accounting for uncertainty shear strength hydraulic parameters. An intelligent surrogate model has been developed to reduce computational effort. The capability two machine learning algorithms, namely...
