Effect of hydraulic and mechanical characteristics of sediment layers on water film formation in submarine landslides

Abstract Through two lab-scale experiments, we investigated the hydraulic and mechanical characteristics of sediment layers during water film formation, induced by elevated pore pressure—considered one of the triggers of submarine landslides. These involved (1) sandbox experiments to prove the effec...
