First reported in the 1960s, offshore freshened groundwater (OFG) has now been
documented in most continental margins around the world. In this review we compile a …

Securing energy means grasping the key link in the national development and security
strategy. Under the goals of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, the overall tendency of …

Geotechnical design of various foundation solutions and evaluation of geohazards requires
a range of soil parameters, including monotonic and cyclic shear strengths as well as …

It has for a long time been a challenge for the geotechnical profession to determine the true
behaviour of clays based on soil sampling and laboratory testing. The main difficulty has …

In order to investigate the cyclic deformation behavior of natural soft marine clay under the
general stress condition, which is due to travelling waves involved principal stress rotation, a …

This paper describes geology, soil profiles and geohazards for typical deep water areas,
identifies design issues, calculation procedures and required soil parameters for …

The paper presents the geological–geotechnical characterisation of the very soft organic
plastic slightly overconsolidated Sarapuí II clay. Dissipation tests showed no artesian …

In Mid 2011, during the 2010-2012 Canterbury earthquake sequence, a site investigation
programme was undertaken within the Christchurch CBD to characterise the engineering …

This study investigates the geotechnical characteristics of a soft tidal mudflat in the Great
Bay Estuary, New Hampshire. Laboratory testing of surficial sediment samples of the upper …

Submarine landslides exhibiting extreme geometrical and run-out characteristics have been
identified and mapped along most continental margins; raising concerns about potential …
