Abstract:
For better understanding how coastal structures with gentle slopes behave during high energy events, a wave attack experiment representing a storm of 3000 waves was performed in a flume facility. Two setups with different steepness of slope were compared under the same conditions. In order to quantify changes in the rock slopes after the wave attack, a terrestrial laser scanner was used to obtain 3D coordinates of the rock surface before and after each experiment. Next, through a series of processing steps, the point clouds were converted to a suitable 2D raster for change analysis. This allow

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of transversely sloped ballasted walking surface on gait and rearfoot motion (RFM) parameters. Motion analysis was performed with 20 healthy participants (15 male and 5 female) walking in six surface-slope conditions: two surfaces (solid and ballasted) by three slopes (0, 5, and 10 degrees). The gait parameters (walking velocity, step length, step rate, step width, stance time, and toe-out angle) showed significant surface effect (p= .004) and surface-slope interaction (p= .017).

Abstract:
The global digital elevation measurement (DEM) products such as SRTM DEM and GDEM have been widely used for terrain slope retrieval in forests. However, the slope estimation accuracy is generally limited due to the DEMs’ low vertical accuracy over complex forest environments. The Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) mission shows excellent potential for slope estimation because of the high elevation accuracy and unique design of beam pairs. This study aimed to explore the possibility of ICESat-2 data for terrain slope retrieval in the United States forests. First, raw ICESat-2

Traditional analysis method cannot display the mechanic conditions and the whole process of deformation, transfixion of sliding surfaces and failure.

In engineering practice, slope stability is commonly assessed using a two-dimensional (2D) analysis under the assumption of plane strain conditions. However, when dealing with the complex surface geometries of three-dimensional (3D) slopes, especially under short-term heavy rainfall conditions, relying solely on a 2D cross-sectional analysis may not always yield conservative results compared to 3D slope stability assessments. To investigate the applicability of using 2D cross-sections to represent 3D slopes, this study examines the influence of surface geometries on 3D slope stability. By vary

An accidental surface in the exterior of a knot in the 3-sphere is a closed essential surface for which there is an annulus in the knot exterior X connecting a loop in the surface and a nontrivial loop in ∂X, the peripheral torus of the knot. The isotopy class of the loop in ∂X is called an accidental slope; each accidental surface has a unique accidental slope. It is known that accidental slopes are integral or 1/0, and there is a knot with two accidental slopes 0 and 1/0.

Shadowgraph images show that a down-slope flow is induced when the bottom of the tank is set at an angle.

One consequence of strong multiple scattering is the presence of an enhanced backscatter peak: this peak has a similar origin to that observed from strongly multiple scattering volume

Abstract:
The use of piles to stabilize active landslides or to prevent instability in currently stable slopes has become one of the most important innovative slope reinforcement techniques over the last few decades. Piles have been used successfully in many situations in order to stabilize slopes or to improve slope stability, and numerous methods have been developed for the analysis of piled slopes (Ito et al., 1981; Poulos, 1995; Chen and Poulos, 1997; Zeng and Liang, 2002; Won et al., 2005). The piles used in slope stabilization are usually subjected to lateral force through horizontal movements of

Abstract:
Predicting a water surface elevation (WSElev) at a particular location has a wide range of applications like determining if a levee will overtop or how much a dike notch will increase water flow into a secondary channel. Five existing methods for predicting the water’s surface, (1) daily slope, (2) average slope, (3) River Analysis System (RAS) 1D, (4) RAS 2D, and (5) Adaptive Hydraulics modeling system (AdH), were used to predict the Mississippi River’s daily water surface from 10 October 2014 to 31 May 2016 at Friar’s Point, Greenville, and Natchez gages. The error, calculated as the model-p

Gavillot, Yann G. Landslide inventory and slope map of Deer Lodge County, southwest Montana. Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology, 2025. https://doi.org/10.59691/hzhd5965.

Full text
Abstract:
The Landslide Inventory and Slope Map identifies landslides that demonstrate evidence of gravity-driven movement based on lidar data, geomorphic and topographic analyses, satellite imagery, field checks, and, when available, published geologic maps. Landslides are classified based on the relative recency of surface movement. The slope map provides a preliminary tool to identify areas that may be susceptible to failure. This map is designed for use as a general planning tool to identify areas potentially hazardous to future mass movements.

Full text
Abstract:
Pipeline integrity may be affected by the action of the external soil loads that can be generated by ground movements or slope failures and the structural integrity threat of these geotechnical failures is not well understood. The threat presented to a pipeline by a localized slope failure is not directly related to magnitude of the soil movement involved, but related to the stress and strains induced in the pipeline by the moving soil block. This project demonstrated and applied advanced pipe-soil interaction numerical modeling tools in the assessment of slope movements directed long the pipe

Full text
Abstract:
As an initial screening to identify areas in Montana that may be appropriate for the MAR surface infiltration method, a suitability analysis was conducted using a geographic information system (GIS) and multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA). Four hydrogeologic criteria were chosen for the suitability analysis: geology/aquifer, depth to groundwater, soil permeability, and topographic slope. The final suitability map is provided as a plate and as an interactive WebApp that identifies locations that appear hydrogeologically suitable for MAR surface infiltration methods.

Abstract:
Gridded elevation models of the earth’s surface derived from airborne lidar data or other sources can provide qualitative and quantitative information about the terrain and its surface features through analysis of the local spatial variation in elevation. The DEM Breakline and Differencing Analysis Tool was developed to extract and display micro-terrain features and vegetative cover based on the numerical modeling of elevation discontinuities or breaklines (breaks-in-slope), slope, terrain ruggedness, local surface optima, and the local elevation difference between first surface and bare earth

Abstract:
This research project will focus on a comparison of several in-situ methods and two remote sensing technologies, GBInSAR and InSAR. Geo-monuments and extensometers were used to measure the changes in surface movements (i.e., tension cracks) over time, and then compared to GBInSAR data for accuracy. This research project includes a comparison of spatial and in-situ monitoring systems that was performed on a steep slope with natural gas pipeline located in the Appalachian region of the United States.

Full text
Abstract:
Lateral support provided by deep foundations can be an effective means to stabilize existing and potential landslides, and deep foundations contribute to the stability of support-of-excavation systems. However, defining the structural resistance and implementing it in a slope stability analysis that satisfies LRFD requirements is a source of significant confusion and miscommunication among geotechnical and structural designers. This report explains the implications of applying (or not) structural resistance factors at various stages of the analysis. Furthermore, most commercial slope stability
