Abstract: Based on a force analysis, an expression is derived to describe the critical Shields number for incipient motion of uniform cohesionless sediment particles on a riverbank slope in terms of flow parameters, outflow seepage, ...

Abstract: Saline soil is composed of abundant soluble salts, exhibiting undesirable properties when used in backfill projects. To address the mentioned problem, a hydrophobic polymer with an active ingredient of hydrosiloxane-containing ...

Abstract: The tensile fracture characteristics of compacted soils are very important for the stability of earth structures. In this work, a horizontal displacement-controlled, uniaxial, direct-tension test apparatus was developed ...

Abstract: Comprehending the rainfall infiltration process in rockfill is essential for estimating the strength and unsaturated wetting deformation behaviors of rock structures. This paper presents an experimental study on the rainfall ...
