Transportation infrastructures filled with calcareous sand are subjected to a high-cyclic
loading. Existing studies indicated that a key challenge in predicting the cumulative …

For mooring systems, the relationship between chain axial resistance and confining stress
affects the tension transfer of embedded mooring chain, and an effective width parameter E t …

The maximum shear modulus (G max) is a key material characteristic that is incorporated in
advanced soil constitutive models. Numerous experimental studies have been conducted to …

Seabed trenches reduce anchor capacity. However, the adverse influence is not considered
in the current design, and no guideline is found in engineering practice. This paper presents …

Subgrades composed of siliceous sand are often subjected to traffic-induced cyclic loads.
However, there is a knowledge gap regarding the long-term deformation behaviour and non …

In this paper, we report on cyclic hollow cylinder tests on Fujian sand and Nanjing sand
subjected to different loading frequencies. Depending on the loading frequencies we …

Subgrade soils are exposed to simultaneous cyclic deviatoric stress and variable confining
pressure (VCP) caused by traffic loading. However, the effect of VCP on cyclic behaviour is …

For crushable sand, compared to non-crushable sand, this paper describes the
experimental phenomenon of the opposite turning direction of stress–dilatancy curve after …

As a new type of engineering construction filler, it is particularly important to know the
shakedown and permanent deformation characteristics of the Yellow River silt under cyclic …

This study presents the experimental investigation on the effect of loading frequency on the
long-term cyclic response of coal ash under as-compacted conditions by performing cyclic …
