Effects of near-fault seismic loadings on run-out of large-scale landslide: A case study

DDA validation of the mobility of earthquake-induced landslides

“…After the blocks stop, the values of relative displacement of the two blocks are approximately 0.25 and 0.40 m. The DDA results are notably consistent with the theoretical results. The theory solution of the dynamic sliding block model can be found in Zhang et al (2013a).…”

Displacement prediction of landslide based on generalized regression neural networks with K-fold cross-validation

“…Frequent landslides constitute significant risk in the Three Gorges Reservoir area [5], which is located at the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in China, causing damage that affects people and property almost every year. Hence, there have been considerable researches on developing algorithms and technology for landslide [6] prediction and warning. It is generally appreciated that the evolution process of landslides can be taken into account an open nonlinear dynamic system with the complexity and uncertainty [7].…”

A novel discrete element method based on the distance potential for arbitrary 2D convex elements

“…[2][3][4] Many studies have been carried out to validate the performance of this method. [5][6][7][8] However, it still suffers from various deficiencies. The contact condition is determined by the process of an open-close iteration, which repeatedly fixes and removes normal and tangential springs between the blocks.…”
