Controlling suction by vapour equilibrium technique at different temperatures, application to the determination of the water retention properties of MX80 clay [PDF]
Problems related to unsaturated soils are frequently encountered in geotechnical or environmental engineering works. In most cases, for the purpose of simplicity, the problems are studied by considering the suction effects on volume change or shear strength under isothermal conditions.

Numerical evaluation of the pipe-pile buckling during vibratory driving in sand [PDF]
The buckling of steel pipe piles during vibratory driving is numerically studied using the Multi-Material Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (MMALE) method. This method handles the large soil deformations that occur during pile driving and other geotechnical ...

Ensemble‐based soil liquefaction assessment: Leveraging CPT data for enhanced predictions
Abstract This study focuses on predicting soil liquefaction, a critical phenomenon that can significantly impact the stability and safety of structures during seismic events. Accurate liquefaction assessment is vital for geotechnical engineering, as it informs the design and mitigation strategies needed to safeguard infrastructure and reduce the risk ...

Digital documentation of railway tunnel inspection in Austria
Abstract Infrastructure, especially railway tunnels, require continuous inspection to ensure their safety. Furthermore, the detection of damages at an early stage can improve their service life. These tasks represent a major challenge for those involved and the tunnel down time is a disruption in operation.
