Bridge distress caused by approach embankment settlement [PDF]
, 2008 Surtees Bridge, which carries the A66(T) over the River Tees near Thornaby-on-Tees in the UK, has been showing signs of distress that predate its opening in 1981.

Determination of Soil-Water Characteristic Curves of Unsaturated Sandy Soils Using Membrane Filter with Stainless Wire Mesh [PDF]
, 2009 Soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) is an important soil function in an unsaturated soil mechanics field for design and analyses of any unsaturated earth structures. Determination of SWCC is not easy and more so time consuming. Generally, ceramic disc

Comparison between uniaxial and pull-out tests setup for polyester and HDPE geogrids [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Uniaxial tensile and/or pull-out tests are performed to obtain the stress-strain curve of geogrids. The clamp lining in contact with a specimen in the uniaxial tensile test or the grit of a sandpaper clamp liner in a pull-out test affects the results. In

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.

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.

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.

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
