Triggered liquefaction in earthquakes, that soil displays fluid-like characteristics caused by
an on-going increase of pore water pressure and reduction of the effective stress, can …

Earthquake-induced liquefaction causes soil to exhibit fluidlike behavior due to a sudden
increase in pore water pressure and a concurrent decrease in effective stress. The …

This book provides a comprehensive guide to the design of foundations for tall buildings.
After a general review of the characteristics of tall buildings, various foundation options are …

The liquefaction response of partially saturated loose sands was experimentally investigated
to assess the effect of partial saturation on the generation of excess pore water pressures …

In permeation grouting, a fluid carrying a binder enters the soil voids under low pressure.
The binder sets and cures in the ground, thereby creating a treated soil with larger strength …

Soil stabilization using nano-additives is one of the trending developments of the decade.
Many novel nano-stabilizers were tested by researchers for ground improvement …

The low viscosity and the ability to control solidification rate make colloidal nanosilica grout
an excellent ground-improvement solution which is functional for different engineering …

The revolution in nanotechnology has called attention to its many potential applications in
the oil and gas industry. Nanoparticle-stabilized emulsions and foams have been proposed …

In this paper, we explore the mechanical performance of colloidal silica grout to assess its
potential for ground stabilisation and hydraulic barrier formation during decommissioning of …

Permeation grouting is used to fill the voids in soils with particulates for the purpose of
improving soil strength. The technique has been predominatly used for cohesionless soils …
