The issue of stability controlling cutting slopes is particularly important in clay-shale slopes, a typical expanding sedimentary layer with poor engineering geological conditions and mechanical characteristics. Therefore, research on the causes of failure and remedies for clay-shale cutting slopes is required to serve as an overview for handling and preserving clay-shale slopes in identical conditions. However, the trusted information about the need for further related clay shale research and clay shale in slope stability has yet to be specifically presented. This review study summarizes the published research for clay shale beginning in 1980, presents a bibliometric analysis to examine the published research based on year and country, and provides various study trends in cluster diagram using the VOSviewer program. The analysis also summarized some key goals, effective methodology, and significant findings from the most recent studies to extract information from them that would benefit future research. In conclusion, the results show the need for developing research to fill the knowledge gap regarding clay shale, landslide, and clay mineralogy. In addition, the clay shale slope analysis has revealed the need for additional research into dynamic force and its deformation.
Prestressed anchor cables are active reinforcement to improve slope stability. However, the anchoring is not a permanent guarantee of stability, and the slope retains a potential risk of instability. From the perspective of the internal force of anchor cables, a new early warning method for the safety of the slope is provided, and a slope analysis model is established. With the increase in the strength reduction factor, the internal force increment curves of anchor cables under different prestresses are obtained. The point corresponding to strength reduction factors λ1 and λ2 represents a warning point. Key conclusions are drawn as follows: (1) The internal force of an anchor cable can be used to judge the stability of the slope strengthened by a prestressed anchor cable. (2) A warning index based on the internal force increment ratio of anchor cables is established. (3) The internal force increment ratio of anchor cables eliminates the influence of the initial prestress and is convenient for engineering applications.

High-precision seismic exploration has attracted a great deal of attention. Vertical seismic profiles have the advantages of high exploration accuracy and ideal imaging effects, making them an effective tool for mine exploration. The separation of upgoing and downgoing waves is a vital step in vertical seismic profile processing. However, wavefield separation processing in the frequency–wavenumber domain often leads to aliasing in the time–distance domain. In addition, it is likely to result in incomplete wavefield separation in the sparse domain because of inaccurate threshold selection. As an effective time–distance domain wavefield separation method, the plane-wave destruction method can effectively avoid these problems. However, the traditional local slope estimation in plane-wave destruction is data-driven, making it difficult to distinguish linear upgoing and downgoing waves. Therefore, the velocity-based local slope parameterization method is proposed to construct a plane-wave destruction filter that can be used to separate the vertical seismic profile wavefield. Synthetic and field data show that the proposed separating strategy has higher separation accuracy than traditional methods when separating the upgoing and downgoing waves of vertical seismic profile data.

The paper presents research on slope anti-erosion protection with application of geotextiles as follow: geo nonwovens, obtained from textile’s waste fibers, jute and sheep wool. The progressive decreases of the surface weight and strength parameters were found with the passing time. The type of applied geotextiles influenced to the slope vegetation growth. The grass grew the best on the slope protected by wool geo nonwoven that characterizes by the highest biodegrability.
The additional artificial elements have been implemented into weak soil to improve and stabi-lize the structures. The most frequent example is use of geosynthetics materials that in-crease stability, improve bearing capacity of soil, protect against surface erosion, affect into properties connected with filtration and drainage. The basic methods to protect against ero-sion of slopes is selected planting of grass and vegetation that prevent surface destruction. The application of biodegradable geotextiles allows to increase the positive impact on local stability of slopes. Advanced geotextiles support the vegetation growth by protection against dewatering. The geotextiles with grass seeds, biomates and fabrics made of natural fibers are frequently used in these applications. The physical, mechanical and hydraulic properties of applied materials should correspond to the purpose of built structure and type of soil. The paper presents results of research of the Maliwatt type nonwovens. The analysis in-cludes: the influence of different type of Maliwatt nonwovens and time of their use on select-ed physical, mechanical and hydraulic properties of these materials. The research was done by use of biotextile stitched with the Maliwatt technique that is available on the Polish market. The geotextiles were obtained from waste synthetic and natural nonwovens (RKL) with grass seeds, and innovative non-woven fabrics stitched with polyamide yarn (Maliwatt) obtained from low-quality washed sheep wool. The impact of the type of non-woven fabric on the growth of grasses was also analyzed. Research included spreading of 2 types of nonwovens on a natural slope with natural soil cover for 5 months period. All tests were performed in ac-cordance with the applicable harmonized standards.

This paper presents an experimental stabilization approach of the landslide that threatens a slope located near the city of El Amir Abdelkader, Ain Temouchent, Algeria. Stabilization is assured by the addition of lime milk, and then a numerical validation of the results with respect to the safety coefficient before and after treatment was performer by “Plaxis” software. Experimental results show that the stabilization by lime milk improves compaction parameters, swelling and shear strength, particularly the cohesion and friction angle, the latter permitting appreciation of the sliding surface on which it is necessary to base the calculation of the safety coefficient before and after treatment. Numerical results indicate that the factor of safety increases with the improvement of the mechanical characteristics c and φ, which are improved by increasing lime milk percentage. The numerical validation using “Plaxis” finite element code gives results that are in perfect agreement with the experimental ones, indicating that this software is a good tool for slope stability study.
A computer model EUSS (Emission Uniformity on Sloping Surfaces) has been developed to design and evaluate the system capacity under operating conditions for drip irrigation system. And achieve the desired value of emission uniformity that is not significantly different according to the recommended values by applying it in field experiment located at Al-Slahia city, Egypt. The model has the ability to design the system by all of the common design techniques and have ability to customize any of them. EUSS model includes two main parts: crop water requirements, and hydraulic calculations of the system using metric unit system. It developed in graphical user interface of the programming language C-sharp (C#) by using Microsoft Visual Studio. The model database is containing the equations, tables and reference values to get more rapid and accurate results, and gives the opportunity for selecting some parameters such as: soil properties, characteristics of the corresponding crop, and climatic data. EUSS model allows the user to assume or set definite values, for example plot layout, land slopes and topography, the emitter characteristics and operating conditions.
Bamboo vegetation is an endemic plant in Indonesia that grows on riverbanks. These plants have the potential to increase shear resistance due to the bond between the roots to the soil. However, an increase in plant weight due to its growth causes additional loads of soil. The condition triggers the release of soil on the slopes and causes riverbank sliding. Therefore, in developing the riparian ecological function, it is necessary to maintain the plants without neglecting the risk of physical damage to the river. This study aimed to estimate the risk of riverbank sliding due to the presence of bamboo plants by utilizing the bamboo vegetation conditions on the Walanae River. It was carried out on the 42.4 km riverbank in the middle area of Walanae watershed. The researchers selected 46 clumps of parring bamboo (Gigantochloa atter) as an endemic bamboo in this area and growing in the riverbank. The diameter of the bamboo trunk is the basis for an estimate of the weight of the bamboo clump. Furthermore, a numerical analysis was carried out by taking into account the load and shear resistance on the slope, including the weight of the plant. The research results indicated that bamboo is feasible to be applied for riverbank protection using the soil bioengineering method. The bamboo weight, which is indicated by the number of poles and diameter, significantly affects the stability of the slope. Therefore, the prevention of rising weight by harvesting method is critical to consider in riverbank protection.

The article presents the results of the observations carried out in relation to buildings deflection in a selected mining area characterized by intensive mining operations. The analysis takes into account the influence of slopes near the foundation of objects that may contribute to the formation of additional terrain deformations and thus affect the discrepancy between the observed deflection of the building and the calculated change in the slope of the terrain. In order to determine the geometric measures describing the slopes, a modern measurement method was used in the form of an unmanned aerial vehicle raid. Correctly predicting changes in the deflection of buildings is crucial in making decisions about the handling of deflected buildings.

The paper presents a brief theoretical analysis of the mechanics of elastic sealants inside expansion joints, presented on the example of gaps between concrete face slab sections covering a slope of a water engineering structure. The analysed factors influencing the strain of such material are the yearly variation of structure’s temperature, its value during the application of sealant, the width of the joint as well as the size of separated sections. Two modes of destruction of the sealant are discussed - by loss of cohesion in the material or loss of adhesion to the sides of the joint. The occurrence of a given mode is related to the properties of the sealant material and the geometry of the joint. The analysis presented in the paper might assist in proper design and execution of expansion joints, as well as selection of an appropriate sealant material.

Calculation of land-surface parameters (e.g. slope, aspect, curvature) is an important part of many geospatial analyses. Current research trends are aimed at developing new software techniques to achieve the best performance and energy trade-off. In our work, we concentrate on the vectorization and parallelization to improve overall energy efficiency and performance of the neighborhood raster algorithms for the computation of land-surface parameters. We chose the slope calculation algorithm as the basis for our investigation. The parallelization was achieved through redesigning the the original sequential code with OpenMP SIMD vectorization hints for compiler, OpenMP loop parallelization, and the hybrid of these techniques. To evaluate both performance and energy savings, we tested our vector-parallel implementations on a multi-core computer for various data sizes. RAPL interface was used to measure energy consumption. The results showed that optimization towards high performance can also be an effective strategy for improving energy efficiency.

Based on the response of small-scale model square footing, the present paper shows the results of an experimental bearing capacity of eccentrically loaded square footing, near a slope sand bed. To reach this aim, a steel model square footing of (150 mm × 150 mm) and a varied sand relative density of 30%, 50% and 70% are used. The bearing capacity-settlement relationship of footing located at the edge of a slope and the effect of various parameters such as eccentricity (e) and dimensions report (b/B) were studied. Test results indicate that ultimate bearing capacity decreases with increasing load eccentricity to the core boundary of footing and that as far as the footing is distant from the crest, the bearing capacity increases. Furthermore, the results also prove that there is a clear proportional relation between relative densities –bearing capacity. The model test provides qualitative information on parameters influencing the bearing capacity of square footing. These tests can be used to check the bearing capacity estimated by the conventional methods.
This paper presents the results obtained from an experimental programme and numerical investigations conducted on model tests of strip footing resting on reinforced and unreinforced sand slopes. The study focused on the determination of ultimate bearing capacity of strip footing subjected to eccentric load located either towards or opposite to the slope facing. Strip footing models were tested under different eccentricities of vertical load. The obtained results from tests conducted on unreinforced sand slope showed that the increase in eccentricity of applied load towards the slope facing decreases the ultimate bearing capacity of footing. Predictions of the ultimate bearing capacity obtained by the effective width rule are in good agreement with those proposed from the consideration of total width of footing subjected to eccentric load. The ultimate bearing capacity of an eccentrically loaded footing on a reinforced sand slope can be derived from that of axially loaded footing resting on horizontal sand ground when adopting the effective width rule and the coefficient of reduction due to the slope. When increasing the distance between the footing border to the slope crest, for unreinforced and reinforced ground slope by geogrids, the ultimate bearing capacity of footing is no more affected by the slope ground.
