CalArts celebrates its 50th anniversary, with staff reflecting on how Walt Disney’s ideas for the school have remained strong for decades. 

Water ingress in soils through infiltration can trigger instability leading to failures in slopes and embankments under drained conditions. Subsequent investigations on such failures have shown that the infiltration of water in soils can cause a reduction in effective stress thus triggering the instability. In addition, studies have indicated that the constant shear drained (CSD) triaxial test can depict an unstable phenomenon where effective stress is continuously reduced. In the current study,...
