Abstract: In this paper, moisture migration in loess considering temperature effect is studied by tests on unsaturated loess samples with different densities and initial moisture contents. Test results reveal that obvious changes ...

Abstract: Soil nailing has been widely used in many places in the world in the last two decades because of its technical and economical advantages. The nail–soil interface shear strength is an important parameter in soil nail design. ...

Abstract: Devastating natural hazards induced by the propagation of extremely rapid, flow-like fragmented rocks can be reduced or even avoided by protective structures in the corresponding danger areas. Such barriers are expected ...

Abstract: Natural fibers are environment-friendly and efficient for soil reinforcement. Many studies have reported the influences of fiber percentage on the shear strength of fiber reinforced soil. However, different natural fibers ...
