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 …

Many studies have been carried out on the influence of freeze–thaw cycles on the
mechanical behavior of cement-or lime-stabilized soils. However, very limited studies have …

In this study, the effects of carbon fiber and nanosilica on properties of silty soil including
physical, microstructural characteristics and shear resistance were investigated. Soil …

Due to the loose packing of natural sand, great efforts have been intended to achieve its
stabilization and prevent associated engineering failures. As a new soil reinforcement …

Sands are mixed with cement to create cement-treated sands (CTSs) for embankment and
road materials in civil engineering works. However, CTS exhibits undesirable brittle …

A series of monotonic and multidirectional cyclic simple shear tests were performed on
reconstituted fiber-reinforced calcareous sand specimens prepared by the dry deposition …

The presence of non-biodegradable plastic waste is a serious concern for the health of
endangered species. The present study is based on the sustainable utilisation of …

Many available stabilisers and reinforcements have been used to enhance the mechanical
characteristics of silica sand. So far, many studies have been carried out to understand the …

A study on the liquefaction resistance of calcareous sands reinforced with polypropylene
fibers was reported. Stress-controlled cyclic simple shear tests were conducted on …
