Análise multicriterial para avaliação da susceptibilidade à ocorrência de quedas de blocos na vertente noroeste da serra da Meruoca, Ceará, Brasil by Adisson Souza Tavares, Frederico de Holanda Bastos

“…From the results it was identified that most of the basin has a very low and low susceptibility level (46%), being these the lower portions close to the exutory already on the erosive surfaces surrounding the massif, in addition to the alveolar plains, with colluvium-alluvial deposit, located on the elevated surfaces of the mountain range. The most susceptible classes, on the other hand, make up about 1/3 of the area, being environments that are not favorable to human occupation, very influenced by the high declivities, preferably located on the massif slopes.…”

Simplified Method for Calculating the Active Earth Pressure on Retaining Walls of Narrow Backfill Width Based on DEM Analysis by Minghui Yang, Bo Deng

“…Spaces for backfills are often constrained and narrowed when retaining walls must be built close to existing stable walls in urban areas or near rock faces in mountainous areas. The discrete element method (DEM), using Particle Flow Code (PFC-2D) software, was employed to simulate the behavior of cohesionless soil with narrow width behind a rigid retaining wall when the wall translation moved away from the soils. …”

Analysis of Tunnel Lining Failure Mechanism under the Action of Active Fault by Sujian Ma, Liang Zhang, Dong Wang, XinRong Tan, Sifeng Li, Yang Liu

“…Relying on an actual tunnel in the southwest mountainous area to establish a three-dimensional finite element model, the failure mechanism of the tunnel under strike-slip and thrust fault dislocation is revealed from the lining deformation, stress distribution, and plastic zone distribution, and the results show that the damage range of the lining distributes in the area of the fracture and the damage effect is greatly affected by the movement amount of the active fault. …”
