Deep Underground Science and Engineering, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 176-192, March 2026.Upon conceptualization of structural behavior, foundations in terms of their form are divided into linear (1D), planar (2D), and volumetric (3D). Regarding the load transfer mechanisms, linear foundation systems are considered vector‐acting, planar foundations are divided into section and surface‐acting, and volumetric ones are recognized as block ...

Soils and FoundationsSheet-pile enclosures are often employed as liquefaction countermeasures for river levees in Japan. However, the stiffness of the sheet piles alone is often insufficient to maintain levees on liquefied foundation soil high enough to prevent overflooding.

Cyclic Loading and Fabric Evolution in Sand: A Constitutive Investigation [PDF]
, 2015 An anisotropic plasticity model is proposed to describe the effect of fabric and fabric evolution on the cyclic behaviour of sand within the framework of anisotropic critical state theory.

Investigation of the fluidised zone in deep vibrocompaction [PDF]
, 2019 Deep vibrocompaction is an established method for the improvement of loose sandy soils using deep vibrators. In a basic modelling concept, the area of the ground influenced by the vibrator is subdivided into three concentric cylindrical zones.

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

Processes of MISS-formation in a modern siliciclastic tidal flat, Patagonia (Argentina) [PDF]
, 2019 The study focus on the description of several MISS as erosional pockets and remnants, flipped-over edges, and large microbial deformation structures as roll-ups, folds and gas domes, in the context of sediment composition, hydraulics, and geomorphology ...

Stability of scour protection due to earthquake-induced liquefaction:centrifuge modelling [PDF]
, 2017 A key aspect of permanent offshore structures is protection against scour. This is typically in the form of a blanket of coarse gravel or cobbles surrounding the structure.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Volcanic debris avalanches can transform into highly mobile debris flows, reaching long runout distances and posing significant hazards to downstream populations. This high mobility arises from complex, evolving rheological behavior driven by dynamic changes in pore pressure, internal resistance, and material properties during the flow.
