Seepage-induced internal erosion in earth-filled embankment dams has been attracting the
attention of civil engineering researchers and practitioners for decades. Microbially induced …

With the fast-developing bioengineering techniques in recent decades, researchers have
started to try to apply bio-techniques to geotechnical engineering. Microbial induced calcite …

The macroscopic phenomena and microscopic origin of penetrative migration and retention
of fine particles in porous skeleton under the action of seepage are not yet clear. Migrating …

Suffusion is a particular case of internal erosion in soils. It is a particle-scale mechanism
involving the selective erosion of fine particles within the matrix of coarse particles under the …

Behaviour of granular soils subjected to internal erosion involves complex coupling between
solid–fluid interaction, skeleton deformation and microstructural evolutions. This paper …

Numerous offshore transportation infrastructures built with delicate calcareous sand (CS)
experience intricate seepage conditions caused by tidal fluctuations. Traffic loads can cause …

Suffusion is a selective erosion of fine particles under the effect of seepage flow within the
matrix of coarser particles. This complex phenomenon appears as a combination of three …

Piping, as one of the critical patterns of internal erosion, has been reported as a major cause
for failures of embankment dams and levees. The fundamental mechanism of piping was …

Suffusion and global backward erosion are two of the main internal erosion processes in
earth structures and their foundations which may increase their failure risk. For other …

This paper attempts to formulate a coupled practical model in the framework of continuum
mechanics to evaluate the phenomenon of internal erosion and its consequences on the …
