ABSTRACT Interparticle cohesive forces play a crucial role in governing the shear behavior of many soils; however, quantifying this effect remains challenging due to limited microscopic insights available from laboratory experiments. In this context, the current study aims to investigate the influence of microscale cohesion on the shear response using ...

Repetitive Liquefaction at a Gravelly Site and Liquefaction in Overconsolidated Sands
Repetitive liquefactions in angular and subangular gravels from an alluvial fan, in the case of two earthquakes with accelerations lower than that of a former which had caused liquefaction some months before, are described. The liquefaction took place from the surface, down to a depth of approximately 10 m.

Two sets of creasing tools were designed and machined from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polyoxymethylene (POM) in this study to improve the creasability of commercial dispersion‐coated paperboard. Their performance was evaluated by measuring the oil and grease resistance of the samples before and after creasing/folding and comparing the results ...

Effect of silt interlayer configuration on the cyclic resistance of loose sand in direct simple shear [PDF]
Liquefaction is a major source of earthquake-induced ground failure, especially in loose, saturated sandy deposits common in Indonesia. Understanding how layered soils behave under cyclic loading is therefore crucial for developing effective strategies ...

REPRODUCING OPERATIONAL LANDSCAPES: The Rock Mining for Indonesia's New Capital City
Abstract Indonesia's new capital city is designed to become a green and sustainable city. In this article, we examine the (un)sustainability of the process through which the city is coming into being. Using the sociospatial theory of planetary urbanization, we trace the dialectical relationship between the new city and sites beyond it to show how ...

Evaluation of soil liquefaction from surface analysis [PDF]
In this paper we describe how some techniques for estimating shallow shear wave velocity profilesobtainedfrommeasurementsofambient vibrations and from artificially generated waves can be used to assess sand liquefaction potential.

ABSTRACT The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development aims to eradicate poverty, protect the environment, and promote prosperity through 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Achieving these goals requires a multi‐sectoral approach. Maritime transportation, vital to the global economy, significantly contributes to several SDGs and plays a strategic ...

Banking Development and the Economic Impact of Natural Disasters: From Short to Long Term Effects
ABSTRACT This paper investigates how financial development and local banking structures shape the economic resilience of communities in the aftermath of natural disasters. Focusing on Italian municipalities hit by earthquakes between 2008 and 2022, we explore the role of banking presence, particularly cooperative banks, in supporting recovery.

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

Damping Ratio of Sand Containing Fine Particles in Cyclic Triaxial Liquefaction Tests
Sand liquefaction triggered by earthquakes is a devastating geological disaster and has emerged as an engaging topic in earthquake engineering. With an enhanced understanding of pure sand liquefaction promoted by laboratory research, there is a growing ...
