The design of efficient material-handling systems for milled lignocellulosic biomass is
challenging due to their complex particle morphologies and frictional interactions …

Shear strength is the principal engineering property of soil, which controls the stability of a
soil mass under structural loads. Therefore, it is always required to measure before design of …

We use a two-dimensional finite-element modeling approach to investigate the structural
evolution of strike-slip faults under five different confining pressures and determine how their …

The physical meanings of the cap aspect ratio (R) and transition surface parameter (α) of the
modified Drucker-Prager cap (MDPC) model have been uncovered in relation to the deviator …

An experimental and numerical investigations of the direct shear test have been performed
under constant vertical stress (q= const) and constant sample volume (h= const). During the …

The presence of clay plays a significant role in how it affects the overall engineering
behavior of the soil. Hence, the strength of the soil is governed by the clay, especially for the …

Wellbore drilling operations frequently entail the combination of a wide range of variables.
This is underpinned by the numerous factors that must be considered in order to ensure …

Owing to the extensive presence of soft soil which covers about one quarter of land area in
Singapore, it is often required to improve the soft soil for various construction purposes …

This paper presents an insight into the effect of increasing sand bed thickness on the
response of the concrete block pavement (CBP) subjected to vehicular loads. CBP sections …

For the last 50 years, the use of reinforced soil systems has increased significantly. As such
it is important to gain an in-depth understanding of the soil-reinforcement interface …
