The emergence of the discrete element method (DEM) provides a powerful tool to
investigate the macro–micro mechanism of soil-structure interface (SSI). Understanding the …

The high-temperature climate, dynamic stress loading and soil particle dimension have non-
negligible influence on the interface interaction between marine coral sand and polymer …

To understand the process of mobilisation of shear strength in sand-geosynthetic interfaces
at a fundamental level, it is essential to precisely characterize the size and shape of the …

Currently, utilization of hydrophilic polyurethane (W-OH) materials for slope protection in arid
areas has proved to be a cost-effective protocol. The treatment effect highly depends on the …

The accurate determination of the interface shear strength is essential in the design of
geosynthetic-reinforced soil structures. The particle geometries of three types of soil …

The influence of overall particle shape, mean particle size, initial relative density and
effective normal stress on the global and local soil–geosynthetic interaction is investigated …

The peak shear strength of clayey soil-geomembrane interfaces is a vital parameter for the
design of relevant engineering infrastructure. However, due to the large number of influence …

Quantification of particle shape features to characterize granular materials remains an open
problem till date, owing to the complexity involved in obtaining the geometrical parameters …

The effect of the shape of snakeskin-inspired patterns on the shear behaviour of soil-
continuum interfaces was investigated for their potential applications in geotechnical …

Interface shear strength between soil and geosynthetics mainly depends on the mechanical
and physical properties of soil, geosynthetics and the normal stress acting at the interface …
