Prof. Yu Wang and Colleagues Receive Scott Sloan Best Paper Award

A paper written by Prof. Yu Wang, Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, and his collaborators at Wuhan University, Prof. Xin Liu (one of his former PhD students) and Prof. Dian-qing Li, has received the Scott Sloan Best Paper Award 2023 from Computers and Geotechnics.

The Scott Sloan Best Paper Award, named in honor of the late Prof. Scott W. Sloan, aims to recognize top papers published by Computers and Geotechnics that have made a significant impact on the field of geotechnical engineering. The evaluation of impact is based on both the citations of a paper over the past five years and strong recommendations from the editors.

Prof. Wang’s paper, entitled “Investigation of slope failure mode evolution during large deformation in spatially variable soils by random limit equilibrium and material point methods”, investigates the effect of soil spatial variability on evolution of slope failure modes during large deformation using random material point method.

Our heartfelt congratulations to Prof. Wang and his collaborators!
