Geotechnical Challenges and Foundation Performance of the Cairo Monorail System Based on Field and Numerical Investigations

Infrastructures
The Cairo Monorail System presents significant geotechnical challenges due to its integrated structural configuration and its alignment across heterogeneous soil conditions, including collapsible and swelling soils. This study investigates the foundation

Identification and Behavior of Collapsible Soils

, 2011
Loess is a soil that can exhibit large deformations upon wetting. Cases of wetting induced collapse in loess have been documented for natural deposits and man-made fills. These issues are of concern to the Indiana DOT due to the growth of the state’s infrastructure in regions with significant loess deposits.

Biogas production from Opuntia stricta Haw.: microbial diversity and solid load influence on sludge recycle systems

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The search for alternative and sustainable energy sources becomes urgent as energy demand increases and fossil fuels become less available, especially in water‐scarce regions such as the Brazilian semi‐arid region, where current projections of global warming and the expansion of arid and semi‐arid zones point to a future of desertification ...

Exploring the early observations of parents supporting their children with school attendance problems (SAPs): A co‐produced study

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract School Attendance Problems (SAPs) represent a significant challenge requiring early identification and intervention. Current service provision often does not recognise early indicators that parents observe, creating gaps between when initial concerns are raised and formal support is provided.

What drives animal responses to high severity fire? The role of functional traits

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fire regimes are changing worldwide, with increases in the frequency, extent, and severity of fires posing growing risks to biodiversity. Fire severity – the degree of habitat alteration following fire – strongly influences both immediate survival and long‐term recovery of fauna.

The Collapsible Soil Definition and Mitigation Strategies: A Review Study

Journal of Engineering
One category of challenging soils is collapsible soils, which show a significant quantity of strength when dried but undergo a sufficient solidity reduction while soaking, leading to illegal settlement. One of the most collapsing soils is gypseous soil,

Loessoid Soils Improvement – Laboratory Tests and Road Engineering Applications

Romanian Journal of Transport Infrastructure, 2019
Moisture-sensitive or collapsible soils are materials with high porosity that under the loads transmitted by the superstructure or even under its own weight present additional settlements once the soil is saturated.
