Dredged sediments have been extensively used in various parts of the world for applications
related to various infrastructural developmental activities, such as land reclamation, building …

Thick loess deposits are considered problematic soils due to their susceptibility to collapse
suddenly and in large volumes upon increase of water content. In the past decades, a large …

Loess is a typical silt-sized Aeolian soil that is widely deposited and possesses a fragile soil
structure susceptible to collapse upon wetting. The instability of shallow loess slopes is well …

Studies on rainfall-induced landslides are essential for protecting the lives and property in
hilly regions. Augmented numerical investigation considering geotechnical, geological, and …

This paper reports on experimental results that show how variations in pore fluid
composition can induce time dependent shear displacements in clay soils under constant …

Salts have been widely reported to exist in loess and play an important role in the soil
mechanical behavior. In recent years, as several land creation megaprojects have been …

Abstract Knowledge of the peak shear strength of compacted bentonites is of fundamental
importance to high-level nuclear waste repositories, as it forms the basis of the analysis of …

The behaviour of soils and rocks containing clay minerals is the effect of complex chemo-
mechanical processes of interparticle interaction. This paper presents experimental results …

This study evaluates the strength behaviors and morphological characteristics of
Lianyungang marine clay under the effect of porewater salinity. Soil at higher salinity was …

Currently, the strength parameters are reduced by a uniform coefficient for the traditional
strength-reduction technique in the slope stability analysis. However, observations proved …
