Effect of reconstituted method on shear strength properties of peat [PDF]
Peat is an organic soil contains more than 75% organic content. Shear strength of the soil is one of the most important parameters in engineering design, especially during the pre-construction and post-construction periods, since used to evaluate the ...

Influence of Carbon Nanoparticles on Electrically Induced Wear of Grease‐Lubricated Steels
When an electric current enters a pair of rubbing surfaces, enormous damage takes place. In this research, how such damage occurs in the presence of protective grease and the mitigation with added carbon nanoparticles, were investigated. It was discovered that those particles regulate transport and interfacial electrical stability of the grease ...

Measuring the Strength of Root-Reinforced Soil on Steep Natural Slopes Using the Corkscrew Extraction Method [PDF]
Roots can help to stabilise slopes against landslides and anchor trees against wind loading, but their mechanical contribution to the strength of soil is difficult to rapidly quantify under field conditions.

Shear Modulus and Shear Strength of Cohesive Soils
ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the relation between initial shear modulus and shear strength of cohesive soils. The initial shear moduli were obtained from the results of the well -shooting tests by means of shear waves, while the shear strength could be obtained from the results of laboratory tests conducted on undisturbed soil ...

Anti‐Slip Material‐Based Strategies and Approaches
This review highlights the principle mechanisms of slipping at the microscale, linking contact mechanics with a friction behavior model for surface interfaces. Main strategies to develop anti‐slip properties to the surfaces are discussed alongside standardized testing approaches.

Project relevance: Shear strength of soil is used in slope stability analyses and engineering designs. Before the sand embankment is built at the project site to consolidate the soft alluvial clay, it is necessary to estimate its stability. This chapter will introduce shear strength of soil and factors affecting it.
