Intensifying Climate Extremes Over the Tibetan Plateau: Past–Future Changes and Implications for Railway Infrastructure

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Climate extremes over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) are intensifying and can threaten high‐altitude railways by altering permafrost stability, freeze–thaw regimes, drainage pressure, and hydro‐geomorphic hazards, yet their evolution for railways remains insufficiently quantified. Using CN05.1 observations (1961–2022) and an evaluated NEX‐GDDP‐CMIP6

Numerical Investigation of the Influence of Interparticle Cohesion During the Shear Behavior of Granular Soil

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 9, Page 4020-4035, 25 June 2026.
ABSTRACT Interparticle cohesive forces play a crucial role in governing the shear behavior of many soils; however, quantifying this effect remains challenging due to limited microscopic insights available from laboratory experiments. In this context, the current study aims to investigate the influence of microscale cohesion on the shear response using ...

From Hydraulic Heads to Dollars and Decision: It's Time to Integrate Groundwater in Coastal Risk Assessment

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Sea level rise presents a range of hazards, including rising groundwater tables, salinization, and subsurface flooding, which threaten subsurface infrastructure in coastal communities. Groundwater shoaling inundates basements, tunnels, and utility networks, and mobilizes contaminants, while salinization accelerates corrosion and deteriorates ...

Study on the Deformation Characteristics of Railway Subgrade Structures Induced by Groundwater Level Changes

Advances in Civil Engineering
The groundwater extraction will lead to a drop in water level, causing a change in the distribution of additional stress in the strata. This phenomenon leads to uneven settlement of the railway subgrade.
