Field trials of microbially induced desaturation (MID) were conducted at two sites in Portland,
Oregon underlain by liquefiable fine-grained soils. MID is an emerging method for mitigating …

Step blasting is an important part of open-pit mining, which is accompanied by hazards such
as large blasting blocks, flying stone splashing, blasting noises, and blasting dust during the …

Static soil liquefaction is widely known to be a serious danger to the stability of structures.
The phenomena governing pore water generation, which leads to liquefaction in fully …

Induced partial saturation (IPS) is a novel method to suppress the generation of excess pore-
water pressure and increase the liquefaction resistance of loose granular soils. Mechanical …

Earthquake liquefaction hazards in silty soils are a critical problem in Portland, Oregon, and
other areas around the world. Recent studies suggest that liquefaction mitigation using …

This paper evaluates the stress changes and settlements following dissipation of local, 3D
excess pore pressure fields induced by controlled blasting. Field data gathered during a …

Loess covers about one-tenth of the world's land area. While it is often used as embankment
fill, loess is not an ideal construction material due to its wet collapsible nature, as it may …

Diffusion of dissolved aqueous-phase gas in porous media is increasingly relevant to
existing and emerging geotechnical engineering applications. There is currently no …
