High water contents and poor compaction during construction have been reported to cause
severe embankment damage during earthquakes. In this paper, a fully coupled soil-water-air …

It has been pointed out that the damage to unsaturated embankments caused by
earthquakes is attributed to the high water content brought about by the seepage of …

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the effects of soil partial saturation on
the behaviour of laterally loaded piles. The proposed study was conducted by means of …

The use of centrifuge modeling where unsaturated soils are involved is more limited than its
use in problems involving dry sand or saturated clays. This limitation is certainly due to the …

Rainfall simulation in centrifuge models is important for modelling soil–atmosphere
interactions. However, the presence of Coriolis force, drag forces, evaporation and wind …

The behavior of a partially saturated soil during surface‐water infiltration is analyzed by
means of an elasto‐plastic constitutive model formulated in terms of effective stress and …

Modeling an embankment by subjecting it to different upstream conditions in a centrifuge is
challenging. However, the response of an embankment to shaking under different upstream …

Aeolian and kaolin deposits contribute greatly to infrastructural damage during the rainy
seasons because of massive collapse settlements. The prediction of wetting-induced …

Desiccation in soils leads to a loss of water content, increasing soil suction, which in turn,
leads to higher shear strength. Drying paths in soils are produced by water uptake by plants …

Freezing and thawing (F/T) is an important occurrence in cold regions influencing soil
geotechnical characteristics. Current study investigates effects of lime, Rice Husk Ash (RHA) …
