... of safety; (c) under moderate seismic loading, GESCs significantly outperform conventional columns, with progressive failure initiating at the embankment toe. The method reveals sequential column failure from toe to centerline and offers practical advantages for preliminary design and stability assessment...

...R. Thiel The behavior of strain-softening geosynthetic interfaces that can lead to progressive failures in lined containment facilities has been a source of confusion in slope stability evaluations for over 30 years. This paper presents 15 mechanisms that can potentially induce displacements along...
