TL;DR: Experimental results show that Leighton Buzzard Sand fraction B and Leighton BuzzFeed Sand fraction E mixtures exhibits clay-like behavior due to particle-particle effects with the increase in LeightonBuzzards fraction E content, and the performance of capacities of proposed NF models are quite satisfactory.

TL;DR: The photoanalysis method was considered to obtain the data required to construct a predictive model for weighted joint density, and a Mamdani fuzzy inference system was construct and its performance was assessed.

TL;DR: In this paper, an assessment of the existing empirical equations was undertaken for the purpose of the study, the data obtained from four investigation galleries opened during a dam construction (Artvin Dam, Turkey) were used A total of 34 plate loading tests were employed in these galleries.

Abstract: Mass instability in the uplifting footwall blocks of normal faults involves a range of regional and local factors including, among others, climatic setting, topography, lithology and particularly ground shaking during earthquakes. Morphological and sedimentological investigations backed by 14C dating on a huge debris flow and its zone of depreciation provided favorable insights for dynamics and causative factors of this mass wasting. Our observations showed that Ismetpasa Debris Flow with a volume of 96 km 3 involves three individual flows of decreasing significance in the late Pleistocene—Holocene period. The primary flow occurred in relation to a huge landslide developed on highly fractured and altered basaltic lavas near the crest of fault scarp c. 18.7 ka BP and probably conditioned by high precipitation rates in the early Interglacial. Although, most of the blocky debris flow transferred into the neighboring graben to form a 2 km wide debris fan, some remnant blocks and flow-induced valley-side slick...
