Optimizing modified triaxial testing for small strain zone using local displacement transducers and bender element for cement-treated soft soil [PDF]
The settlement behavior is a common problem on the railway structure that can be optimized by applying cement-treated soil as ground restoration. However, the application of a high cement mixing content needs a proper estimation that can be achieved by ...

Characterization of Small-Strain Shear Modulus Through DAS
The offshore subsurface is a highly dynamic place where seismic waves are constantly generated due to the presence of offshore infrastructure, earthquakes, landslides etc. In recent years, Distributed acoustic sensing or DAS has drawn the attention of geologists and geophysicists for its capability of monitoring seismic activity.
