Spatiotemporal slope stability analytics for failure estimation (SSSAFE): linking radar data to the fundamental dynamics of granular failure
Antoinette Tordesillas, Sanath Kahagalage, Lachlan Campbell +3
Impending catastrophic failure of granular earth slopes manifests distinct kinematic patterns in space and time. While risk assessments of slope failure hazards have routinely reli…

Interdependent evolution of robustness, force transmission and damage in a heterogeneous quasi-brittle granular material: from suppressed to cascading failure
Antoinette Tordesillas, Sanath Kahagalage, Charl Ras +2
A heterogeneous quasi-brittle granular material can withstand certain levels of internal damage before global failure. This robustness depends not just on the bond strengths but al…
