A mechanical insight into the triggering mechanism of frequently occurred landslides along the contact between loess and red clay

Abstract The triggering mechanism and movement evolution of loess-red clay landslides, which occurred frequently along the contact between the loess and red clay on the Loess Plateau, are closely related to the mechanical properties of the contact surface. This work presents an experimental investig...
