Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) harnesses the natural metabolic action of
bacteria to induce the precipitation of calcium carbonate and alter soil engineering …

Cyclic response of soil layers under moving wheels includes Principal Stress Rotation
(PSR), which evidently cannot be simulated with a conventional cyclic uniaxial triaxial test …

Simple shear element tests can be used to examine numerous geotechnical problems;
however, the cylindrical sample (NGI-type) direct simple shear (DSS) device has been …

This paper discusses the common methods available for reconstituting sand samples that
are used for soil strength characterization. Reconstituted samples are preferred to …

Flow liquefaction and flow slide of soils are two fundamental concerns in current
geotechnical engineering. Previous studies mainly focused on level ground conditions …

Stress–strain responses of Leighton Buzzard sand are investigated under bidirectional
shear. The tests are conducted by using the variable direction dynamic cyclic simple shear …

Multidirectional shearing involves shear stress changes in both magnitude and direction.
When subjected to multidirectional shearing, soils exhibit complex responses that are …

In submarine inclined terrains, granular soils are subjected to considerable initial shear
stress, which significantly affects their cyclic behavior and liquefaction potential. When the …

Seismic site response analysis (SSRA) is typically performed considering only one
horizontal component of earthquake excitation. In many cases, however, two or three …

Dynamic loadings, induced by earthquakes and other causes, will lead to the cyclic variation
of both shear stress and normal stress components on the soil elements. A series of cyclic …
