Abstract: Natural slopes are often observed to have a concave, convex, or a combination concave/convex profile, yet constructed slopes are traditionally designed with planar cross-sectional geometry. In this paper, the stability of ...

Abstract: Desiccation of soil is the gradual process of moisture loss from a fully or partially saturated condition to a dry state. If the soil is constrained against shrinkage during desiccation, it will begin to crack when tensile ...

Abstract: A study has been conducted to develop a new generation of geosynthetic materials based on the tensoresistivity of polymers filled with electrically conducting particles. These materials, called sensor-enabled geosynthetics ...
