Abstract: Long-term stability evaluation of unsaturated earth structures has always been one of the most important issues in geotechnical engineering. Most available methods are appropriate for calculating the maximum loads that the ...

Abstract: Sandy cobble soil is a composite made of soil matrix and cobbles, and the estimation of its shear strength always requires expensive large-scale experiments. The strength of the sandy cobble soil exhibits macroscopic ...

Abstract: Nanosatellite 2 (NS-2) is a science and technology experimental nanosatellite developed by Tsinghua University. Since it was launched, NS-2 has operated properly and has been used as a low-cost, rapid-response satellite ...

Abstract: A novel unified numerical limit analysis method is proposed to study variably saturated soils reinforced by flexible inclusions. An effective stress-based criterion is utilized to determine the shearing resistance of ...
