With the increase of soil consolidation degree, the pore water pressure induced by thermal loading drops dramatically. To conveniently and quickly calculate the thermal pore water pressure inside the soil under different overconsolidation states and...
The degree of the over-consolidation ratio (OCR) of silty clay affects the soil’s mechanical properties and in situ test results. The present study utilized numerical analysis to investigate the behavior of cone penetration and pore pressure di...
Gassy clay, commonly encountered in coastal areas as overconsolidated deposits, demonstrates distinct mechanical properties posing risks for submarine geohazards and engineering stability. Consolidated undrained triaxial tests combined with cyclic si...
This study conducted experimental tests on the undisturbed Nanjing Yangtze River floodplain soft soil using the bender element instrument to determine the maximum dynamic shear modulus of the Yangtze River floodplain overconsolidated soft soil. The G...
Ground settlement resulting from consolidation may lead to tilted buildings, cracks in the pavement, damage to underground utilities, etc. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the consolidation behaviors (including primary consolidation and seconda...
Suction piles are used to ensure wellhead stability during natural gas hydrate production in the Shenhu area of the South China Sea (SCS). Undrained shear properties of clayey-silty sediments play a critical role in the stability analysis of suction...
This paper presents a method describing the application of artificial neural networks to evaluate the change in undrained shear strength in cohesive soils due to principal stress rotation. For analysis, the results of torsional shear hollow cylinder...
Geogrid-reinforced piled embankments (GRPEs) provide an economical and effective way to construct highways and railways on soft soil foundations. This paper proposed a new design method for GRPEs. The method was based on the soil arching and tensione...
Damage to soil structure caused by strong earthquakes is one of the main reasons for post-earthquake geohazard development. To investigate the nonlinear dynamic behaviors of the post-earthquake loess, a pre-shock reconsolidation test was designed to...
This study aims to investigate the effect of plastic fine content on the undrained monotonic behavior of sandy soils (mixtures of host sand and various plastic fine content from 0 to 25%), and in particular, their static liquefaction resistance (undr...
This study investigates the creep behavior of remolded Wenzhou (China) coastal silt through one-dimensional (1D) and triaxial creep tests. Results show that the secondary consolidation coefficient exhibits a non-monotonic response to stress levels, w...
Investigation on swelling characteristics of buffer/backfill materials during hydration is an important issue in the design of artificial barriers in high-level radioactive waste (HLW) disposal repositories. In this work, for clarifying the character...
Urmia Lake (UL) is the sixth-largest saltwater lake in the world; however, there is a dearth of geotechnical studies on this region. Geotechnical characteristics of a site are considered important from different engineering perspectives. In this rese...
Reliable estimates of soil stiffness and energy dissipation are essential for dynamic-response design. This study benchmarks machine learning models for predicting shear modulus (G) and damping ratio (D) using 2738 resonant-column measurements. After...
