Abstract: Cement-soil mixing is an effective ground improvement technique. The introduction of cement to soils can effectively increase their shear strength, but at the same time the mixture becomes brittle. To increase the ductility ...

Abstract: Unsaturated soils are three-phase porous media consisting of a solid skeleton, pore water, and pore air. The behavior of unsaturated soils is strongly influenced by the matric suction (pore air pressure minus the pore water ...

Abstract: Following the comprehensive model formulation given in Part I, a fully implicit integration procedure for the rate equations using a closest point projection method is presented in this paper. The stress-update algorithm ...

Abstract: Recent laboratory tests and field observations have revealed that unsaturated sands are susceptible to liquefaction. Systematic investigation of liquefaction potential of unsaturated sands is, however, lacking. In this ...

Abstract: The current state of the art and applications of Internet-of-Things (IoT) in construction safety management were summarized for both academic and industrial practice based on an extensive literature review and questionnaire-based ...
