Research Interests:

  • Failure mechanisms of shallow loess landslides: Based on the fundamental interactions among water, soil, and forces during landslide development, this study investigates the physical relationship between soil strength attenuation and slope failure.
  • Prediction of shallow loess landslides: By analyzing the evolutionary stages of landslides and soil strength attenuation during their evolution, this research explores precursor recognition for loess slope failure.
