Poisson's ratio is an elastic property needed as input in a wide range of geotechnical
engineering applications. Despite experimental evidence, there is currently no model in the …

The stability of unsaturated slopes under seismic loading has become an important issue
over the past few years which is the indication of its practical significance in geoengineering …

In this study, an analytical model is developed to establish a framework for predicting the
coefficient of lateral soil pressure in unsaturated soils. To this end, the disturbed state …

This paper presents experimental studies on a compacted expansive soil, from Nanyang,
China for investigating the at-rest lateral earth pressure σ L of expansive soils. The key …

There has been limited research conducted to date on the role and significance of soil
parameters in an unsaturated state on the amount of deformation and safety of reinforced …

This paper investigates the impact of pile temperature and soil moisture on pile behavior
during gradual loading and unloading, using 1 g physical model tests. The findings provide …

Determining matric suction in diesel-contaminated soil within unsaturated regions is
essential for simulating the diesel remediation process. Existing literature methods are …

This study presents a laboratory testing program consisting of incremental loading, constant
rate of strain, and specially designed, pseudo K 0-triaxial tests to provide insight into the in …

Calculating the coefficient of lateral pressure of unsaturated soils, in the at-rest and the
active states of the soil, has been rarely studied so far. In this chapter, an effective stress …

The last 10 months and 2 days have been spent on the final project of my time as a student
at Delft University of Technology. It has been a time with ups and downs like any other …
