Abstract: The presence of water and salt transport in complex hydrochemical environments allows for continuous changes in the suction state of clay (matric suction, osmotic suction, and their interactions). The interaction between ...

Abstract: Because the porous multiphase nature of circular arc canyon media has an essential influence on the scattering of seismic waves, elastic media, as well as saturated porous media, do not fully respond to the actual properties ...

Abstract: The global climate is becoming warmer and wetter, and the physical properties of saline soil are easily affected by the external climate changes, which can lead to complex water–heat–salt-mechanics (WHSM) coupling effect ...

Abstract: Wave impeding blocks (WIBs) are vibration isolation structures embedded within the foundation to mitigate environmental vibrations and have been increasingly applied in practical engineering in recent years. However, current ...

Abstract: The interaction mechanism between matric suction and osmotic suction was clarified through the analysis of certain physicochemical effects on unsaturated saline clay. The Young–Laplace equation for unsaturated saline clay ...

Abstract: The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau shows an obvious trend of warming and humidification, and the increased rainfall is mainly concentrated in the summer. There have been few reports on the effects of summer rainfall variations on ...
