  • Earthquake-Induced Landslides

    Initiation and run-out analysis by considering vertical seismic loading, tension failure and the trampoline effect

    de Yingbin Zhang ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book sheds new light on improved methods for the study of the initiation and run-out of earthquake-induced landslides. It includes an initiation study method that considers tension-shear failure mechanism; an improved, rigorous, dynamic sliding-block method based on dynamic critical acceleration; and a run-out analysis of earthquake-induced landslides that takes account of the trampoline ...

  • When Life Nearly Died: The Greatest Mass Extinction of All Time

    The Greatest Mass Extinction of All Time

    "Michael Benton's splendid book brings back to Earth Science a sense of adventure. . . . It is both a wonderfully good read and a valued reference." —James Lovelock, author of Gaia and Homage to GaiaToday it is common knowledge that the dinosaurs were wiped out by a meteorite impact 65 million years ago that killed half of all species then living. Far less well-known is a much greater catastrophe ... Leer más

  • Coupled DEM-CFD Analyses of Landslide-Induced Debris Flows

    de Tao Zhao ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This book reflects the latest research results in computer modelling of landslide-induced debris flows. The book establishes an understanding of the initiation and propagation mechanisms of landslides by means of numerical simulations, so that mitigation strategies to reduce the long-term losses from landslide hazards can be devised.In this context, the book employs the Discrete Element Method ...

  • Monotonic, Cyclic and Postcyclic Shear Behavior of Low-plasticity Silt

    de Shuying Wang ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book gathers the main research findings on monotonic, cyclic and postcyclic shear behavior of low-plasticity. Drawing on the low-plasticity silt from the Mississippi River Valley, it determines that the silt’s critical state line can be changed due to liquefaction, and thus offers valuable insights and reference data for further investigations on soil mechanics and engineering applications to ...
