A Viscoplastic Interpretation of Strain Rate Growth in Variably Saturated Soil Systems Subjected to Wetting

Description:

Fluid injection is one of the major triggering factors of infrastructure collapse and geo-hazards, among which some of the most recurrent ones are rainfall-induced landslides. Such events exhibit complicated spatiotemporal patterns, spanning from slow deformation to extremely rapid movements influencing large regions. To prevent the occurrence of catastrophic failures and...
