Experiments on seepage-triggered cliff landslides using cohesive wet sand
Abstract Unsaturated wet sand possesses capillary cohesion that is lost when it becomes saturated. Thus, it can form a cliff, but a slide may be triggered upon saturation. Here we conduct cliff landslide experiments using cohesive wet sand where the groundwater seeps in from the hydraulic head $$h_\...
