Key Issues in the Research on Loess Flow Slides Under Hydraulic and Gravitational Soil Erosion
Loess flow slides can have catastrophic consequences and have, therefore, become a critical research topic in engineering geology. Recent occurrences...
-
Study on the causes, deformation and failure mechanisms of loess multistage collapse
Loess has typical vertical joint development characteristics, making it prone to develop relief joints under the action of pore water pressure and...
-
Analysis of loess water migration regularity and failure response of tunnel structure under rainfall environment
The potential collapsible deformation of loess surrounding rock is not conducive to the safety and stability of the tunnel, especially under rainfall...
-
Prediction model of loess immersion settlement based on improved K-G model
Loess is a problematic type of soil with a worldwide distribution due to its collapsibility. The temporal discontinuity and spatial nonuniformity of...
