Geofluids, 2020 In this study, to explore the feasibility of a compacted red clay as an engineered barrier in landfills, the viscoplastic property of remodeled unsaturated reticulate red clay was studied through a series of triaxial tests.

Vadose Zone Journal, 2021 Compressional seismic (P‐wave) velocities were measured experimentally at different matric suctions and confining pressure states using a variety of sediments collected from the USDOE Hanford Site in southeastern Washington State. The P‐wave velocity was

Numerical analysis of matric suction effects of tree roots [PDF]
Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Geotechnical Engineering, 2006 The use of native vegetation in the coastal regions of Australia has become increasingly popular for stabilising railway corridors built over expansive clays and compressive soft soils. The tree roots provide three stabilising functions: (a) they reinforce the soil; (b) they dissipate excess pore pressures; and (c) they establish sufficient matric ...

A Conceptual Framework for Assessing Soil Structural Attributes Across Contrasting Land‐Use Types
European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 3, May–June 2026.ABSTRACT Soil structure governs ecosystem functioning across scales, but its complexity requires integrative approaches that capture geometric and functional properties. This study proposes a methodological framework that integrates field‐based visual evaluation of soil structure (VESS), X‐ray computed tomography (CT) and soil hydraulic property (SHP ...

Hydraulic or Seepage Erosion: What Drives Bank Collapse in Tidal Environments?
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.Abstract The collapse of channel banks in tidal environments has typically been interpreted using fluvial concepts that prioritize hydraulic (flow‐driven) erosion. Yet daily tidal fluctuations trap pore water in channel banks, potentially producing sustained seepage flows capable of triggering collapse even without strong currents.

Effect of Matric Suction and CSR on Dynamic Response of Expansive Soil
, 2021 The unsaturated shear behaviour of soil is governed by the presence of negative pore water pressure or matric suction (ua-uw). Based on the distribution of solid, water and air phases, the soil–water characteristics curve (SWCC) is divided into three ...

The influence of suction changes on the stiffness of railway formation
, 2011 Despite compacted soils being unsaturated, geotechnical design is predominantly based on saturated soils,despite it being known that differences exist between the behaviour of saturated and unsaturated soils.Suction in soils has been shown to increase ...

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 4, April 2026.Mineral and organic landslides from the BGS landslide database were each clustered into three distinct groups using landslide‐slope angle, rainfall on the day of the landslide, cumulative rainfall and soil texture. Differences between organic and mineral landslides as well as between landslide clusters were interpreted from a mechanistic viewpoint ...

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 4, April 2026.In the UK, there is contradictory evidence as to whether climate warming is worsening groundwater drought through increased evapotranspiration (ET) or whether increased ET is compensated by rising winter rainfall. We integrated a groundwater model into the JULES land surface model.

Monitoring Groundwater Pumping Using Time‐Lapse Tomography From Ambient Seismic Noise
Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Management of water resources will be of critical importance as the effects of climate change accelerate. This implies the need to monitor water resources with high spatial and temporal resolution. One way to meet this need could be passive seismic methods using ambient seismic noise. In this study, we present a novel approach using time‐lapse
