Significant progress has been made these last decades in the development of hydrogeological numerical flow modelling for describing the hydrodynamic behaviour of landslides. However, these new sophisticated methods are still very seldom used in the problem ...
Significant progress was made these last decades in the development of hydrogeological methods. However, these new methods are still very little used in the problematics of unstable slopes, mainly because of the hydrogeological complexity, which characteri ...
A general elasto-plastic model for partially saturated soils is proposed, based on the disturbed state concept (DSC). This model is unified and simplified, includes both saturated and unsaturated states and is able to capture some typical features of parti ...
In order to define the safety conditions and the sustainable development of the large Triesenberg landslide (5 km(2)), the Principality of Liechtenstein has undertaken a modelling research to determine both the critical hydraulic heads and the potential in ...

Changes in hydraulic properties of soils and aquifers as a result of biogeochemical transformations, such as bacteria growth and mineral phase precipitation/dissolution, may lead to significant modifications of the groundwater flow field. This affects in t ...
Changes in soil pore volume and shape in response to internal and external mechanical stresses alter key soil hydrologic and transport properties. The extent of these changes is dependent on details of pore shape and size evolution. We present a model for ...
Using advanced hydrogeological and geomechanical finite element modelling, it has been possible to model the mechanical behaviour of a large slope movement, the Triesenberg landslide. This slope is located along the Rhine valley in the Principality of Liec ...
