The ground is a natural grand system; it is composed of myriad constituents that aggregate
to form several geologic and biogenic systems. These systems operate independently and …

Soil collapse forms a major hazard in large parts of Canada, the United States, Europe,
China, and Africa, especially in the Loess Plateau of China. The Malan loess overlying the …

Coastal loess is a special loess deposit that is distributed around the Bohai Sea. The
primary objective of this study was to investigate the physical index, mineralogical …

Loess is the most important collapsible soil; possibly the only engineering soil in which real
collapse occurs. A real collapse involves a diminution in volume–it would be an open …

The earthquake-induced landslides frequently occur in weakly cemented soil or along the
interface between two soil layers of different weathering levels. However, the investigation …

This study explores the concept of rocking foundations to mitigate damage during seismic
events. By weakening the footing intentionally, the foundation acts as a “fuse” to prevent …

Lime Cake (precipitated calcium carbonate PCC), a by-product of sugar production, is
proposed as a stabiliser for improvement of loose silty clayey loams. Two inorganic …

The Henan area of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River is situated within the
third sedimentary loess area, positioned as the southeasternmost segment within the …

The use of discarded tire in sand to mitigate liquefaction has received much recent interest.
Most of the published research addresses the dynamic response of compacted tire …

Building on/with expansive soils with no treatment brings complications. Compacted
expansive soils specifically fall short in satisfying the minimum requirements for transport …
