Instrumentation and matric suction measurement in a decomposed granite soil slope
, 2005 A field instrumentation program was carried out to measure the matric suction in a granite residual soil slope. The variation in matric suction due to changes in climatic condition was investigated to study its effect on slope stability. Matric suction

Analysis of the suction evolution during direct shear test in a silty sand soil [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 Shear strength of soils is one of the essential parameters for analysing and solving divers geotechnical problems (e.g. the bearing capacity of shallow footings pile foundations, slope stability and earth embankments).

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background On ca. 10% of the forested sites in the Bavarian Alps (Germany) mountain, forest soils (so‐called folic histosols) are characterized by thick organic layers overlying poorly weathered calcareous parent material. Aim These organic layers play a critical role in releasing water and nutrients for vegetation, yet they are also sensitive

Results in EngineeringThe load-bearing capacity of a pile embedded in unsaturated soil depends mainly on the matric suction present in the soil. Changes in this parameter directly influence pile performance.

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Establishing biocrusts on sandy surfaces in harsh desert environments presents significant challenges due to extreme ecological conditions. To address these challenges, this study examined the effects of two organic superabsorbent cellulosic polymers (OSCPs)—carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and guar gum (GUA)—on the establishment of ...

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Swelling of clay‐sulfate rocks is a concern in geotechnical engineering that can damage infrastructure. In the historic town of Staufen in southwest Germany, geothermal drilling into a swellable anhydrite‐bearing clay formation resulted in water inflow and subsequent swelling, triggering ground heave and damage to more than 250 houses.

Hypoplastic Model for Unsaturated Soils With Degree of Saturation Dependent Stiffness
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper presents an enhanced hydro‐mechanically coupled hypoplastic constitutive model for unsaturated soils, developed by extending an existing framework, with particular emphasis on improving the stiffness formulation to better capture the influence of the degree of saturation. The existing framework links Bishop's effective stress to the
