RISGeneralized Equation for Soil Shrinkage Curve
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The soil shrinkage curve (SSC) defines a constitutive relationship between soil volume and water content under drying conditions. Nearly all work to date considers a zero volume shrinkage for water content below a certain ...
A Closed-Form Equation for Soil Sorptive Potential
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractCapillarity and adsorption are the two physical mechanisms responsible for matric
suction, and thus they determine soil’s hydrologic and mechanical properties under
saturated and unsaturated conditions. Adsorption ...
Predicting Large-Scale Landslide Initiation Based on the Local Field Factor of Safety: An Application to the Braies Catchment in Northern Italy
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractLandslides pose a significant hazard to citizens, infrastructures, especially in mountainous
landscapes. The deterministic prediction of landslide susceptibility requires an incorporated
approach between multiple ...
Soil Pore Water Pressure Induced by Adsorption and Capillarity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractPore water pressure serves as a cornerstone for controlling various soil behaviors.
In soils, both capillarity and adsorption contribute to pore water pressure. Capillarity
exists in large soil pores when soil is ...
Predicting the Soil Freezing Curve via a Modified Clapeyron Equation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractThe soil freezing curve (SFC) is a constitutive equation describing unfrozen soil-water
content and temperature under subzero conditions (below 273.15 K). The SFC governs
various mechanical and hydrological ...
Modulus of Soil Slurry
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractModulus is a fundamental soil property in geotechnical engineering that directly influences
critical processes such as soil settlement and wave propagation. A new model is proposed
for characterizing soil modulus ...
Scaling Shear Modulus from Small to Finite Strain for Unsaturated Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The stress-dependent curve of shear modulus degradation with increasing shear strain amplitude is a fundamental mechanical property of soils. Although it is well known that the degree of saturation has an important impact ...
Tropical Storm-Induced Landslide Potential Using Combined Field Monitoring and Numerical Modeling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: When heavy rainfall, such as that associated with tropical storms, falls on steep hillsides, shallow landslides are often one of the damaging consequences. To assess landslide potential from heavy rainfall, a strategy of ...
Detecting Long-Term Trends in Precipitable Water over the Tibetan Plateau by Synthesis of Station and MODIS Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ong-term trends in precipitable water (PW) are an important component of climate change assessments for the Tibetan Plateau (TP). PW products from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) are able to provide ...
Evaluation of Precipitable Water Vapor from Four Satellite Products and Four Reanalysis Datasets against GPS Measurements on the Southern Tibetan Plateau
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe southern Tibetan Plateau (STP) is the region in which water vapor passes from South Asia into the Tibetan Plateau (TP). The accuracy of precipitable water vapor (PWV) modeling for this region depends strongly ...
