Volume instability of expansive soils due to moisture fluctuations is often disastrous, causing
severe damages and distortions in the supported structures. It is, therefore, necessary to …

Highlights•Effect of variation of water table level on railway-induced vibrations was
investigated.•Water table level has considerable influences on vibration transmitted to metro …

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

In recent years, several empirical and semiempirical relationships have been proposed to
predict the small-strain shear modulus of unsaturated fine-grained soils along different …

Biochar has been recently investigated as an eco-friendly material in bio-engineered
slopes/landfill covers. A majority of recent studies have focused on analyzing water retention …

This paper presents the results of a laboratory study on evaluating the behavior of highly
expansive clay that was treated with copper slag and lime under static and cyclic loading …

This research investigates the influence of matric suction on the variation of shear modulus
and damping ratio of a silty soil in very small to medium shear strain levels. A set of …

Slope failures along highways can highly affect the stability of road structure. In this respect,
the analysis of the wetting process in unsaturated media is of great importance to slopes and …

An anisotropic constitutive model (BBM) has been implemented in a finite difference-based
computer program to simulate the geo-mechanical behavior of unsaturated soils subjected …

Resilient modulus of soil is crucial for the design of a structure on a foundation subjected to
a cyclic loading (eg, traffic load or machine vibration load). This paper conducted a series of …
