Abstract: The cyclic stresses in subgrade soil induced by traffic loads are three-dimensional—cyclic major, intermediate, and minor principal stresses. To investigate the permanent deformation of natural undisturbed clay under ...

Abstract: The risk level of an expansive soil landslide (ESL) is a key parameter employed for slope stability assessment. It also serves as a starting point for a risk management strategy constructed to mitigate the risk of slope ...

Abstract: Shale is often encountered during rock engineering. The inherent anisotropy of shale and the loading and unloading path affect the failure characteristics of this material. In this study, shale specimens with seven different ...

Abstract: The Kunming peaty soil exhibits distinct physical and mechanical properties from the inorganic clay due to the special soil-forming process and material composition. To better understand the viscous behavior of peaty soil, ...

Abstract: In geotechnical engineering, the small-strain shear modulus and its attenuation characteristics are pivotal for analyzing and evaluating soil vibration responses to various engineering construction projects. This study ...

Abstract: A significant feature of residual soil is the presence of a cemented structure and fissures that dominate its anisotropic behavior. Although the anisotropy of some sedimentary soils is well understood, that of residual ...

Abstract: When constructing subway tunnels, blasting is commonly used to deal with granite boulders in weathered granite formations. It is, therefore, crucial to evaluate how the blasting-induced impact loading affects surrounding ...
