Rubber plant root properties induce contrasting soil aggregate stability through cohesive force and reduced land degradation risk in southern China [PDF]

open access: yesSOIL
In southern China, the island of Hainan faces land degradation risks due to a combination of soil physical, chemical, and climatic factors: soil physical properties like a high proportion of microaggregates (<0.25 mm), chemical properties such as low ...

Discussion of ‘‘Re-Examination of Undrained Strength at Atterberg Limits Water Contents’’ by H.B. Nagaraj, A. Sridharan & H.M. Mallikarjuna [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Having recently investigated soil strength at the Atterberg limits, the discussers read the paper by Nagaraj et al. (2012) with interest. Whilst some of the conclusions of the paper concur with those of our own work, there are other areas in which we ...

Numerical Modeling of Nonlinear Response of Seafloor Porous Saturated Soil Deposits to SH-Wave Propagation

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
Numerical modeling of seismic response of soil deposits is usually conducted as part of seismic hazard assessment, preceding facility construction in any tectonically active regions, including offshore sites.

Seismic site classification from the horizontal-to-vertical response spectral ratios: use of the Spanish strong-motion database [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Normally, the average of the horizontal-to-vertical (H/V) ratios of the 5% damped response spectra of ground motions is used to classify the site of strong-motion stations. In these cases, only the three-orthogonal as-recorded acceleration components are

Investigation of Lateral Stress Relief on theStability of PHI = 0 DEG Slopes Using Laboratory, Fracture Mechanics, and Finite Element Method Approaches [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Total stress analyses of purely cohesive cut slopes utilize the undrained shear strength for slope stability analyses. These slopes can have an in-situ lateral earth pressure that is greater than the vertical pressure.

3D character of backward erosion piping [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Backward erosion piping is an important failure mechanism for cohesive water-retaining structures which are founded on a sandy aquifer. Nowadays, piping research and safety assessments are often based on experimental or numerical modelling using ...
