The Yellow River Jingtai Stone Forest (YJSF) is situated in the northwestern margin of the Chinese Loess Plateau, and it is not only one of the most precious and rare types of natural landforms in the Loess Plateau but also a protected area of valuable geological relics and landscapes in northwest China. Massive rock structural planes are present i...

To reveal the landslide mechanism of the loess slope induced by rainfall, we carried out a series of tests for loess under different permeability durations, and studied the influences of rainfall on the permeability coefficient, the soil water characteristic curve, the components, the microstructure, and the shear strength of the loess. Test result...

... The deformation and failure of rock masses are commonly associated with the "key block" (Shi and Goodman 1989). The rock mass is cut by structural planes into various forms of spatial blocks (Lyu et al. 2022). In the natural state, these spatial blocks are in static equilibrium. ...
