Abstract: This paper presents an experimental study on the hydromechanical behavior of unsaturated sedimented soil to understand the impacts of suction on the apparent yield stress and gain insight into the differences in behavior ...

Abstract: Seismic compression of unsaturated soils occurs due to particle rearrangement during large-strain cyclic shearing, which may be resisted by interparticle stresses that depend on the matric suction and degree of saturation. ...

Abstract: When tire derived aggregate (TDA) is used as a lightweight monolithic fill in civil engineering applications, such as embankments and retaining walls, the shearing behavior of TDA-interfaces with different materials should ...

Abstract: Unsaturated soils in engineered geostructures like embankments or retaining walls may experience seismic compression during earthquakes due to particle rearrangement associated with large-strain cyclic shearing. Although ...

Abstract: The seismic response of underground reservoir structures is a complex soil–structure interaction problem that depends on the properties of the earthquake motion, surrounding soil, and structure. More experimental and field ...

Abstract: The available simplified analytical methods for the seismic design of underground structures either assume

Abstract: The available simplified analytical methods for the seismic design of underground structures either assume yielding or rigid-unyielding conditions. Underground reservoir structures do not fall into either of these categories. ...
