Influence of clay mineralogy on undrained cyclic strength of sand with fines

open access: yesEngineering Science and Technology, an International Journal
Soils in natural or reclaimed areas frequently contain a mixture of sand, silt, and clay, rather than consisting solely of clean sand. The influence of a small proportion of fine plastic particles within a sandy matrix on liquefaction resistance still ...

Shallow Shear‐Wave Reflection Surveys in the Wellington Central Business District

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
Seismic reflection profiling using shear waves provides constraints on the thickness of sediments beneath the Wellington Central Business District. Standard seismic methods were modified for urban environments where limited grassed areas are available and levels of cultural noise are high.
