A method for determining displacement-dependent shear strength of slip zone soils using ring shear tests

KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering
In the sliding process of landslide, the structure of slip zone soil is destroyed gradually, and its shear strength decreases continuously, which may lead to landslide instability.

Dynamic Electrophoretic Assembly Coupled With Water‐Splitting‐Induced pH Control Enables Precision Ion Sieving Membranes

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A green, external‐catalyst‐free route grows defect‐free covalent organic framework membranes directly on ion‐exchange supports using an alternating electric field and in situ‐generated acid. Through a self‐regulating, self‐healing mechanism, the membranes achieve near‐complete, ultra‐fast separation of monovalent ions such as Li+, Na+, and K+, offering

Effects of vegetation on the angle of internal friction of a moraine

, 2009
Vegetation clearly affects soil strength, but how to take these effects into account in conventional calculations of slope stability is still an unsolved problem. To quantify the important influence of plant roots on shear strength of a moraine, we performed isotropic, consolidated-undrained triaxial compression tests with different confining pressures
