Sentence examples for shallow failure from inspiring English sources

Once a shallow failure is initiated, it progressively propagates down to the toe.

Surface runoff, interflow and fine particle migration effects are presented to interpret the process of shallow failure.

The analyses of the slope in 1991 showed that the slope experienced shallow failure due to the high groundwater table.

Due to mathematical constraints on the resulting rigid 3D failure geometry, the critical surface of a deep and narrow trench emerges above the toe, termed the shallow failure.

Starting from a distinction between shallow and deep modes of failure, the paper presents the most common failure mechanisms for shallow failure in tension, including procedures for calculation of foundation tensile capacity under vertical and inclined loading.

The depth, and consequently volume, of the shallow failure is calculated at the end of the rainfall duration.
