Abstract: Internal erosion poses a significant threat to many geotechnical infrastructures as fine particles removed from gap-graded soils, which can be promoted by mechanical disturbances caused by human activities and natural ...

Abstract: Particle-scale mechanisms that control the static creep behavior of crushable sands are not well understood. In this context, this study examines the problem of creep of crushable sands undergoing one-dimensional (1D) ...

Abstract: With the rapid development of China’s economy, the linear traffic infrastructure in the permafrost region has also developed rapidly. Many engineering problems in pile-supported bridges are caused by the freeze–thaw cycles ...

Abstract: Particle morphology plays a crucial role in determining the mechanical behavior of granular materials. This paper focused on investigating the effects of boundary conditions on the triaxial mechanical properties of soil ...

Abstract: The micromechanical behavior of two fine-grained soil mixtures, i.e., RS-C containing river sand grains and GB-C containing glass beads, was investigated using X-ray microtomography (µCT). The specimens were uniaxially ...

Abstract: This paper presents a methodology for estimating the shear strength of interphase systems composed of granular materials and planar inclusions having various degrees of roughness. Existing empirical and semiempirical ...

Abstract: Flood disasters have plagued developing countries and impeded sustainable city development as a result of global climate change and economic development. Chaotic urban flooding prevention system management is the current ...
