Soil mechanics surface sampler [PDF]
, 1969 A lunar surface sampler essentially identical to that operated from Surveyor 3 was mounted on Surveyor 7 and performed flawlessly on the moon throughout a range of operating temperatures from +180°F to −167°F.

Influence of Rotations on the Critical State of Soil Mechanics [PDF]
, 2010 The ability of grains to rotate can play a crucial role on the collective behavior of granular media. It has been observed in computer simulations that imposing a torque at the contacts modifies the force chains, making support chains less important.

Rainfall-induced differential settlements of foundations on heterogeneous unsaturated soils [PDF]
, 2013 This study stochastically investigates the rainfall-induced differential settlement of a centrally loaded, rigid strip foundation on an unsaturated soil with spatially varying values of either preconsolidation stress or porosity.

Temperature- and saturation-dependent behaviour of unsaturated clay beams in bending tests [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 The paper investigates the deformation behaviour of partially saturated clay beams under flexural stress. Beams were prepared from two clays and then loaded until failure. Three degrees of saturation and two loading rates were examined for each clay. The

Modelling large deformation problems in unsaturated soils [PDF]
, 2016 Applications of unsaturated soil mechanics often involve large deformations and displacements. This is the case of collapse behaviour of low density soils or the unrestrained swelling of expansive clays.

Perspectives of 3D Probabilistic Subsoil Modeling for BIM
Geotechnics, 2023 Building information modeling (BIM) in the planning and construction of infrastructure projects, such as roads, tunnels, and excavations, requires the generation of comprehensive 3D subsoil models that encompass relevant geological and geotechnical ...

SWCC of Calcareous Silty Sand Under Different Fines Contents and dry Densities
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021 Investigating the soil-water characteristics of calcareous soil has a great significance for preventing geological disasters on island-reefs as well as maintaining the foundation stability of hydraulic-filled island-reefs. In this study, calcareous silty

Experimental investigation of coupled thermo-mechanical behaviour of Kaolin clay [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesAn experimental study regarding the thermo-mechanical behaviour of a Malaysian Kaolin is presented in this paper. Mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) tests have been performed on compacted samples with varying initial water contents. Samples compacted at
