It has been long recognised that some of the fundamental and engineering properties of
soils exhibit a certain degree of anisotropy that eventually dictates their directional …

Internal instability is a form of internal erosion in broadly graded cohesionless soils in which
fine particles can be eroded at lower hydraulic gradients than predicted by classical theory …

Over the past 50 years, experimental studies have repeatedly demonstrated that the
mechanical behaviour of sand is sensitive to the material fabric, that is, the arrangement of …

Inherent anisotropy is often observed in natural clays. This paper presents a hypoplastic
constitutive model to describe the inherent anisotropy of normally and overconsolidated …

This study investigates the evolution of suffusion and mechanical behaviors of gap-graded
soils under anisotropic stress conditions. The interactions between granular assembly and …

Understanding the evolution of microstructure in granular soils can provide significant
insights into constitutive modeling of soil liquefaction. In this study, micromechanical …

As a typical form of internal erosion, suffusion refers to the detachment and migration of fine
particles through voids among coarse particles driven by seepage flow. This paper studies …

Fabric anisotropy is a sought-after micro index to correlate macro mechanical responses of
granular materials. In this work, the discrete-element method is utilised to simulate multi …

The mechanical response of sand is affected by the axial strain accumulated during
undrained cyclic triaxial loading tests. However, the large deformation that occurs during the …

For many applications in geotechnical engineering, an accurate assessment of soil
hydraulic conductivity is important to predict settlements and pore water pressure changes …
