Since the beginning of the 21st century, global environmental problems have become increasingly prominent, and extreme weather events have become more frequent. The irrational development and excessive construction of underground space have also led to various disasters, such as landslides, collapses, debris flows, and ground collapses. According to the data released in the National Geological Disaster Bulletin, 133899 geological disasters have occurred in China from 2009 to 2019, of which landslides accounted for 71%, collapses for 19%, and debris flows for 8%, and ground collapses for 2%. The number of casualties and economic losses caused by rock and soil disasters are the greatest in the world. Therefore, a good understanding of disaster-causing mechanisms of rock and soil has a strong theoretical and practical significance for the safe construction of diversified geotechnical projects.

Avalanches, mudflows and landslides are common and natural phenomena that occur in mountainous regions. With an emphasis on snow avalanches, this book provides a survey and discussion about the motion of avalanche-like flows from initiation to run out. An important aspect of this book is the formulation and investigation of a simple but appropriate continuum mechanical model for the realistic prediction of geophysical flows of granular material.

This monograph is centered on mathematical modeling, innovative numerical algorithms and adaptive concepts to deal with fracture phenomena in multiphysics. State-of-the-art phase-field fracture models are complemented with prototype explanations and rigorous numerical analysis. These developments are embedded into a carefully designed balance between scientific computing aspects and numerical modeling of nonstationary coupled variational inequality systems. Therein, a focus is on nonlinear solvers, goal-oriented error estimation, predictor-corrector adaptivity, and interface conditions. Engineering applications show the potential for tackling practical problems within the fields of solid mechanics, porous media, and fluidstructure interaction.
