Geophysical data from the Cassini spacecraft imply the presence of a global ocean
underneath the ice shell of Enceladus, only a few kilometres below the surface in the South …

The current paper reports an experimental investigation that aims to determine the effects of
freeze-thaw cycles (cycle number and freezing low temperature) on the dynamic responses …

Polyurethane foam adhesive (PFA) has been introduced as an alternative stabilizer in
geotechnical applications because PFA can improve the engineering characteristics of soil …

The current state of practice in the seismic assessment of dams relies on
pseudoprobabilistic approaches in which the estimation of ground‐motion intensity …

Un-utilized coal ash is commonly used as fill material for the construction of highway and
railway embankment, which experiences different anisotropic stress conditions under …

Shear wave velocity (V s) is crucial for designing geotechnical systems subjected to dynamic
loads, especially in seismically active regions. The shear wave velocity of geomaterials can …

With the rapid development of high-speed railways (HSRs) in seasonally frozen regions in
China in recent years, there is an increasing need for better understanding of how the …

The shear modulus and damping ratio are important parameters for the design of structures
subjected to dynamic loading and can be obtained by in situ and laboratory measurements …

The stress-strain properties of the rockfill materials under cyclic loading conditions are
critical for the seismic safety analysis of dams. However, due to the effect of size and strain …

The behaviour of granular soil is mainly dependent upon the nature and arrangement of
particles, which in turn affect fabric anisotropy. It has been known for many years that …
