Soil-Structure Interaction [PDF]
, 2023 The Editors are pleased to present this collection of 10 articles under the theme soil–structure interaction (SSI). The terminology SSI implies that an action from the surrounding ground would result in a reaction to the structure and vice versa, hence ...

X-ray microtomography analysis of soil pore structure dynamics under wetting and drying cycles [PDF]
, 2020 The soil water retention curve is one of the most important properties used to predict the amount of water available to plants, pore size distribution and hydraulic conductivity, as well as knowledge for drainage and irrigation modeling. Depending on the

Soil aggregates by design: Manufactured aggregates with defined microbial composition for interrogating microbial activities in soil microhabitats [PDF]
, 2020 Differences in the structure of microbial communities are reported to exist between the inside and outside of soil aggregates, but the impacts of soil aggregation on microbial activity in soils, essential for soil health, have proven difficult to study ...

The role of abrasion in cyclically sheared soil-structure interfaces [PDF]
, 2023 A limiting factor in the drive to deliver performance-based design is the lack of knowledge regarding the constitutive behaviour of soil-structure interfaces, particularly in the case of cyclic loading.

Seismic soil-structure interaction: Beneficial or detrimental? [PDF]
, 2000 The role of soil-structure interaction (SSI) in the seismic response of structures is reexplored using recorded motions and theoretical considerations. Firstly, the way current seismic provisions treat SSI effects is briefly discussed.

Soil-Structure Interaction in Nonlinear Soil [PDF]
, 2009 A two-dimensional (2-D) model of a building supported by a semi-circular flexible foundation embedded in nonlinear soil is analyzed. The building, the foundation, and the soil have different physical properties. The model is excited by a half-sine SH wave pulse, which travels toward the foundation.

Controlled traffic farming restores soil structure [PDF]
, 2009 Soil structural degradation is widespread in cropping lands and efforts to restore deteriorated soil structure very often fail, largely as a result of unchanged tillage and traffic practises.
