Soft clay forms a big proportion of the seabed ground. In a marine environment, waves,
wind, and earthquakes, often known as cyclic loads, are a main contributor to the loading of …

The influences of consolidation conditions and rotation patterns of principal stress on the
liquefaction susceptibility of saturated coral sand have emerged as an interesting problem in …

Results of torsional shear hollow cylinder (TSHC) tests carried out on a reconstituted sand
maintaining a constant direction of major principal stress relative to the vertical axis (α) and …

Non-plastic and low plasticity soils are generally impractical to recover in anything
approaching an undisturbed state. This has led to intense focus on the development and …

An experimental study of the effect of (initial) static shear stress on the undrained simple
shear response of sands is presented. Liquefaction resistance of two sands, one generally …

The critical state approach, based heavily on the use of the moist tamping (MT)
reconstitution method, is finding increasing application in tailings engineering practice …

Understanding the evolution of dynamic properties of sand subjected to induced anisotropy
is indispensable for an accurate seismic analysis of geostructures. In this study, several …

Plant roots are known to provide mechanical reinforcement to soils upon shearing and
seismic loading. However, the effects of different stress paths on root reinforcement remain …

Evolution of soil fabric during deposition, sedimentation and subsequent shearing has been
the focus of innumerous experimental and numerical studies in the past. However, the effect …

Static liquefaction has been identified as the cause of several recent tailings storage facility
(TSF) failures. Partially based on the investigations carried out, significant advances on the …
