The Effects of the Choice of Liquefaction Criteria on Liquefaction in Soils with Plastic Fines

J
Cyclic triaxial tests are widely used in laboratory studies to assess the liquefaction susceptibility of soils. Although standardized procedures exist for conducting these tests, there is no universally accepted criterion for defining liquefaction.

Bearing Capacity of Tension Steel Piles in Thinly Inter‐Layered Soils: Numerical Class‐A Prediction vs. Field Measurements

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 1430-1450, 25 February 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the bearing capacity of tension piles and pile‐soil interaction during loading. Discrepancies between predicted and measured bearing capacities in previous tests motivated the study, where analytical methods showed considerable scatter and uncertainties in design.

Evaluation of Excess Pore Water Pressure Build-up During Cyclic Triaxial Tests on a Non-plastic Silt

Düzce Üniversitesi Bilim ve Teknoloji Dergisi, 2018
Cyclicloading is responsible for pore water pressure buildup, which may later cause liquefactionand surface settlements. Recent studies emphasize that as the pore waterpressure equalizes to initial confining stress, cyclic stress ratio andrelative ...

The Impact of Soil Anisotropy on Surface Settlements Induced by Tunnelling: A Revealing Parametric Study and Nomogram Development to Improve Modelling Practice

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 1218-1228, 10 February 2026.
ABSTRACT Natural soils often exhibit clearly anisotropic mechanical properties, yet this characteristic is frequently overlooked in numerical models due to the practical challenges of determining anisotropic parameters. As a result, the influence of anisotropy remains difficult to anticipate, and engineers have limited tools to incorporate it into ...

Stress and Rock Failure Near Salt Bodies: Insights From Field Observations, Kinematic Modeling, and Mechanical Analysis Near Arches National Park, Paradox Basin, Utah

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Salt's inherent weakness and capacity for ductile deformation create significant mechanical contrasts that locally perturb the stress field in surrounding rocks, often leading to deviations from regional tectonic stresses. Variations in local stress are a critical factor for wellbore stability, seal integrity, and fluid flow in subsurface ...

Inversion of Short‐Period Seismic Signals as a Tool to Understand Small‐Volume Rockslide Mechanics: The Case Study of the 26 January 2023, Lorgino (Crevoladossola, NW Italy) Rockslide

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract A small‐volume 6,000 m3 rockslide struck the Lorgino hamlet of Crevoladossola (NW Italy) just before 23:00 UTC on 26 January 2023, at the boundary of a nearby marble quarry. The rockslide severely damaged the mining infrastructure and halted operations for months, fortunately without causing injuries or casualties.

Reviewing seas of data: Integrating image‐based bio‐logging and artificial intelligence to enhance marine conservation

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 272-290, February 2026.
Abstract Conservation of marine ecosystems can be improved through a better understanding of ecosystem functioning, particularly the cryptic underwater behaviours and interactions of marine predators. Image‐based bio‐logging devices (including images, videos and active acoustic) are increasingly used to monitor wildlife movements, foraging behaviours ...

The Influence of 25‐ and 90‐Min Afternoon Nap Opportunities on Subsequent Nighttime Sleep in Student Athletes

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 35, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT While daytime napping could support recovery in athletes, poorly timed or prolonged naps may interfere with nighttime sleep. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the effect of two different, well‐timed nap opportunity durations, 25 and 90 min, on subsequent objectively measured nighttime sleep in student athletes.

Microlayer Model: A Nonlinear Finite Strain Viscoelastoplastic Formulation for Asphalt

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 1, 15 January 2026.
ABSTRACT The microlayer framework is an innovative and powerful approach for the numerical simulation of heterogeneous materials, such as aggregate‐matrix composites across multiple scales. In this study, the microlayer framework is extended for the first time to account for viscoelastic‐elastoplastic material behavior.
