Abstract:<div>The granular column collapse experiment, which consists of the rapid removal of lateral support to a column of granular material, is an important benchmark case for the physical and numerical study of transitional mass flows. While other researchers have focussed on the link between the aspect ratio of the column to mobility of the flow, these experiments are also an important platform to evaluate frameworks for triggering of slope failures.</div><div>&#16… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
