A Hydrate-Bearing Sediment Gas Replacement Mechanical Behavior Regulation Mechanism and Slope Stability Analysis by Lei Huang (35191)

“…The Ψ value on the <i>v</i>-ln <i>p</i>′ plane is consistently negative, and gas replacement results in higher ln <i>p</i>′ values and lower <i>v</i> at the failure state point. As saturation increases, the Γ value of the critical state line decreases, while the λ value increases. (3) For slope simulations, increased hydrate saturation significantly raises the safety factor for gentler slopes, while the reinforcing effect of gas replacement is weaker for steeper slopes with higher saturation.…”

“…Recent contest experience had significant, role-specific effects only in the post-escalation phase: stronger winner and loser effects in intruders, and a weaker winner effect in residents. …”
