Study of the Permeability of Foam Conditioned Soils with Laboratory Tests [PDF]
, 2010 EPB tunneling requires that the excavated soil has a plastic and pulpy behavior to be able to apply a stabilizing pressure to the face, but it should also be impervious to counteract filtration forces that could develop ahead of the face.

Self-organization of hydrophobic soil and granular surfaces [PDF]
, 2007 Soil can become extremely water repellent following forest fires or oil spillages, thus preventing penetration of water and increasing runoff and soil erosion. Here the authors show that evaporation of a droplet from the surface of a hydrophobic granular

Microstructural changes in Oxisols under long-term different management systems [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2023 There has long been a discussion about the effects of soil management on its structure. Since changes can occur due to management and time of use, more accurate assessments can be achieved if carried out in long-term experiments.

Water-induced granular decomposition and its effects on geotechnical properties of crushed soft rocks [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2010 The widespread availability of soft rocks and their increasing use as cheap rockfill material is adding more to geotechnical hazards because time-dependent granular decomposition causes significant damage to their mechanical properties.

Discrete modelling of capillary mechanisms in multi-phase granular media [PDF]
, 2009 A numerical study of multi-phase granular materials based upon micro-mechanical modelling is proposed. Discrete element simulations are used to investigate capillary induced effects on the friction properties of a granular assembly in the pendular regime.

Arching in granular soils: limit state equilibrium
Géotechnique, 2021 One of the most critical assumptions in the application of arching theory is an accurate estimate of the coefficient of lateral stress, K, used to relate vertical and horizontal stresses on the assumed failure plane. Historically, this has been treated as an empirical constant, and previous mathematical estimates based on consideration of principal ...
