The removal of soil during scouring is crucial to the lateral resistance of piles in bridges of railways or highways. In this process, dilatancy of the interface soil induces variation in normal stress, which in turn influences the interface soil lateral...

Landslide-generated impulse waves in dammed reservoirs run up the reservoir banks as well as the upstream dam slope. If large enough, the waves may overtop and even breach the dam and cause flooding of the downstream area with hazardous consequences. Hen...
