Abstract: Predicting soil water movement and the transport of pollutants requires a good understanding of soil hydraulic properties. One of the most important hydraulic properties of unsaturated soil is the soil water diffusivity. ...

Abstract: The strength anisotropy and strain softening of natural soil can significantly impact the bearing capacity of shallow foundations on clay. In this article, we present a nonlocal numerical method to study the coupled rotation ...

Abstract: Climate change and human activity has increased the degree of nonstationarity in the annual runoff series of the Weihe River Basin, making it difficult to conduct a traditional hydrological frequency analysis in this study ...

Abstract: Florida carbonate rocks are typically weak, with a median unconfined compressive strength value of approximately 3 MPa. Due to the infeasibility of attaching strain gauges to their vuggy and shelly surfaces, an ...
