Lucas, Daisy (author), Herzog, Ralf (author), Iten, Markus (author), Buschor, Heinz (author), Kieper, Andreas (author), Askarinejad, A. (author), Springman, Sarah M. (author)Predicting the trigger of a slope failure of a steep Alpine scree slope in south-west Switzerland is challenging. The groundwater (GW) flow from snow-melting and rainfall infiltration during summer changes the susceptibility to surficial failure, which also depends on the slope angle, bedrock geometry, stratigraphy and the shear strength of the...journal article 2020

Wang, B. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author), Vardon, P.J. (author)The random material point method (RMPM), which combines random field theory and the material point method (MPM), is proposed. It differs from the random finite-element method (RFEM), by assigning random field (cell) values to material points that are free to move relative to the computational grid rather than to Gauss points in a conventional...journal article 2016
