Experimental study on effects of gradation on strength and deformation of coarse-grained soil
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2017 Eight large-scale triaxial tests on coarse-grained soil with different lithologies are carried out. The effects of gradation on strength, deformation, dilatancy and particle breakage characteristics of coarse-grained soil are discussed.

Deformation Behavior of Coarse-Grained Soil as an Embankment Filler under Cyclic Loading
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2020 This study aims to examine the deformation behavior and internal mechanism of coarse-grained soil as an embankment filler under cyclic loading. Numerical dynamic triaxial tests were performed on coarse-grained soil using the discrete element software ...

Three state variables-related constitutive model for coarse-grained soil
Yantu gongcheng xuebaoThe spatial variability of materials is a common problem in geotechnical engineering. For the coarse-grained soil, the essence of its spatial variability is the uneven distribution of particle gradation and density.

A Systemic Model for Understanding Business Interactions With Biodiversity and Ecosystems
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation represent critical threats to human well‐being and economic resilience, challenging businesses to understand and manage their interdependence with natural systems. This study develops a systemic framework—the BioModel—that elucidates the reciprocal relationship between businesses, biodiversity, and ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Food waste and loss (FWL) remains a critical challenge across food supply chains (SCs) globally, with approximately one‐third of all food produced for human consumption discarded or lost each year. This study systematically reviews how supply chain innovation (SCI) can mitigate FWL.

Study on collapse behaviors of coarse grained soils
Periodica Polytechnica Civil Engineering, 2012 Collapse deformation of coarse grained materials were studied based on large scale triaxial tests, stress paths of the tests were the same as what soils actually experienced in a rock-fill dam construction, these test results showed that collapse deformation of coarse soils increased with the growth of the stress level sl and the mean stress p, thus, a

The Dynamics‐of‐Value‐in‐Consumption of Recycled Textile Materials
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We investigate how the perceived value of recycled textile materials evolves across the consumption cycle, a key issue for recycling‐based strategies seeking to close the loop in the fashion industry. We employ a qualitative design combining an exploratory study and a longitudinal study with three interview waves, in which participants ...

Making Value‐Chain Risks Visible: Extending ENCORE for Systemic Insights
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Businesses in all sectors, including downstream segments, depend on biodiversity and the ecosystem services it sustains, yet firms also exert pressures that accelerate biodiversity loss. The latter generates material risks for both companies and their financial stakeholders.
