Evaluating snow weak-layer failure parameters through inverse finite element modelling of shaking-platform experiments
Snowpack weak layers may fail due to excess stresses of various natures, caused by snowfall, skiers, explosions or strong ground motion due to earthquakes, and lead to snow avalanches. This research presents a numerical model describing the failure of "sandwich" snow samples subjected to s...
