Hydro-Mechanical Evolution and Failure of Geobag-Stabilized Expansive Soil Slopes: Discrete Element Modelling and Experimental Validation
Rainfall infiltration in expansive soil slopes induces moisture redistribution, particle swelling, and shear strength degradation, thereby promoting shallow sliding and slope deterioration. Geobag reinforcement has emerged as an environmentally adaptable strategy to mitigate instability while supporting resilient and r...
