Wetting hydrological processes are relevant to a considerable number of natural hazards,
including landslides, dam breaks, surface runoff after floods, etc. The notable difference …

This study aims to suggest a new method for predicting 3D sphericity through traditional 2D
image processing through a novel sieving analysis. The 3D sphericity indices of grains (over …

The thermal volumetric behaviour of soils plays a critical role in designing energy
geostructures, withstanding temperature fluctuations. This study examined, for the first time …

The curing temperature-dependent cement hydration causes the nonlinear evolution of
fracture behavior and properties of fiber-reinforced cemented paste backfill (CPB) and thus …

This paper presents results from a series of stress-controlled undrained cyclic triaxial tests
on the undisturbed marine silty clay, silt, and fine sand soils obtained from the Bohai Sea …

A modified two-surface critical state plasticity model for saturated and unsaturated soil is
presented in this study. The key modification in new model is inclusion of an alternative yield …

The introduction of fibres into soil can effectively improve its engineering properties.
Systematically understanding the unsaturated mechanical properties of fibre-reinforced soil …

The construction of most geo-structures like earthfill dams, roads, highways, embankments,
and airport runways deals with the compaction of unsaturated soils under anisotropic …

Lateritic clay is widely distributed in tropical and subtropic regions, with distinct engineering
properties from other clays. Its stiffness properties, which are often anisotropic and crucial for …

Road base is usually subjected to cyclic traffic loadings as well as environment loads.
Evidence shows that excessive permanent deformation of the road base may occur under …
