Abstract: Suffusion refers to the phenomenon in which fine particles in internal unstable soil are carried by seepage through skeleton pores. It is a type of internal erosion that can lead to major hazards for hydraulic and geotechnical ...

Abstract: Piping is a major failure mechanism in both dams and dikes. In this work, we develop a transparent specimen tank that allows a camera to clearly record the piping formation process. In addition, this apparatus is able to ...

Abstract: Suffusion of soils is one of the common hazards in geotechnical and ocean engineering. The influence of the stress condition of soils on suffusion, however, remains unexplored in previous studies. In this study, systematical ...
