RISEffect of Vertical Strain and Hydration Time on Mechanical Behavior and Microstructure of Expansive Soil
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, the effects of vertical strain and hydration time on the mechanical behavior and microstructure of expansive soils are examined, addressing the challenges they pose to engineering structures due to ...
Decoupling Analysis Method for Rain-Induced Failure of Shallow Expansive Soil Slopes Considering Swelling and Strength Softening
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Rain-induced shallow failures in expansive soils often occur on gentle slopes with slope ratios of 1:2–1:6, resulting in highly complex stability issuesThis study established an equivalent theoretical model for the swelling ...
Thermocline Fluctuations in the Equatorial Pacific Related to the Two Types of El Niño Events
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe interannual fluctuations of the equatorial thermocline are usually associated with El Niño activity, but the linkage between the thermocline modes and El Niño is still under debate. In the present study, a mode ...
Evaluating the Effect of Brine on Water Absorption and Expansion of Red-Layer Mudstone in Central Sichuan Using Digital Image Correlation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Red-layer mudstone is a typical expandable rock, that is, it easily expands and deforms in water. This study focused on the dynamic quantitative analysis of the mudstone hygroscopic process and development of strain caused ...
