Improved Determination of Preconsolidation Pressure of a Sensitive Clay
, 1960 Poor agreement between calculated and measured consolidation settlement in the Leda (Laurentian) clay of eastern Canada suggested that either the classical consolidation theory might not apply to this soil or that present testing techniques were not yielding the correct consolidation characteristics of the soil.

Extended Kelvin–Voigt Model for Simulating Thermally Accelerated Creep in Fine‐Grained Soils
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 1843-1854, March 2026.ABSTRACT The subsurface undergoes temperature variations in many situations due to anthropogenic and natural causes, which strongly influence the long‐term behavior of soils. These phenomena can involve temperature anomalies in the ground across distances of a few meters, as in the case of nuclear waste repositories, to distances encompassing entire ...

Research on Settlement Prediction and Control of Lock Floor Concrete Pouring Construction
Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.As the core structure of inland waterway hubs, lock engineering’s structural safety directly affects navigation efficiency and life cycle benefits. With the advancement of “quality engineering,” construction accuracy requirements have evolved from traditional strength control to three‐dimensional spatial precision, particularly for floor slab elevation,

A Novel Permutation Entropy–Based Method for Assessing the Stability of Seawalls on Soft Soils
Structural Control and Health Monitoring, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Evaluating the stability of seawalls constructed on soft soils is critical but challenging. Traditional methods often depend on whether settlement velocity exceeds predefined thresholds, which can overlook subtle settlement fluctuations and may be less adaptable to varying construction and environmental conditions.

Improving Constitutive Modelling of Soft Organic Clays With New Experimental Insight
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 49, Issue 18, Page 4480-4501, 25 December 2025.ABSTRACT The engineering response of soft organic clays is controlled by anisotropy, stress history and the nature of organic matter. The behaviour of these soils has been investigated extensively over compression triaxial paths, and models are available to successfully reproduce available experimental observations. However, open questions remain about
