Estimation of probability distribution of shear strength of slip zone soils in Middle Jurassic red beds in Wanzhou of China

Shallow landslide susceptibility assessment under future climate and land cover changes: A case study from southwest China

“…Most of these geologic units have sub-horizontal layering and several vertical sets of subunits. For instance, the middle Jurassic (J 2 ) is the most widely distributed strata in the area, which can be divided into three subunits: the Xintiangou Formation (J 2 x), the lower Shaximiao Formation (J 2 xs) and upper Shaximiao Formation (J 2 s) (Huang et al, 2017;Wang et al, 2017). The most important difference among these strata is the lithology, of which the sandstone and mudstone are the most common, followed by Triassic limestone.…”

Distribution Property of Shear Strength Parameters of Q2 and Q3 Loess in Northwest China and Its Application in Reliability Analysis of Natural and Filled Slopes

“…erefore, appropriate probability distribution models and accurate distribution parameters are key to the accuracy of the analysis results. Probability distribution models for different type of soil differs greatly [3][4][5]. Because of the water sensitivity, collapsible loess tends to have a bigger uncertainty than other soils [6].…”
