Pre-compression and capillarity effect of treated expansive subgrade subjected to compressive and tensile loadings

Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2021
Pavement structures often are under tension and compression mobilised by the coupled effects of traffic loads and swelling stress. Seasonal moisture variations cause capillarity rise and volumetric movement within the subgrade.

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 ...
