Undrained shear strength of artificially flocculated clays
Geotechnical ResearchThe flocculation and sedimentation of suspended clay particles in marine environments are an important process to form natural marine clays. In this study, the process of flocculation and sedimentation is simulated using appropriate flocculating agents in the laboratory.

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.Rainfall‐induced landslides involving on Auckland Volcanic Field scoria cones are highly unusual, compared with widespread landsliding in the surrounding Auckland clay‐rich residual soils. Indeed, while Auckland can suffer from thousands of rainfall‐induced shallow landslides from severe storms at subdecadal timescales, these are usually limited to ...

Study on the Rheological Properties and Constitutive Model of Shenzhen Mucky Soft Soil [PDF]
, 2014 In order to obtain the basic parameters of numerical analysis about the time-space effect of the deformation occurring in Shenzhen deep soft-soil foundation pit, a series of triaxial consolidated-undrained shear rheology tests on the peripheral mucky ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Seismic ruptures that extend over kilometers along faults originate in shear zones only millimeters thick. We present a hybrid numerical framework coupling the spectral boundary integral method (SBIM) for the poroelastic bulk with a staggered‐grid finite difference method (FDM) for the fault gouge.

Behavior of undrained shear strength of saturated soft clay under consolidation
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2019 By integrating the functions of large-diameter consolidometer and miniature vane shear devices, a systematic apparatus is devised and developed to be capable of performing shear tests at any point in time during the consolidation process of saturated ...

Shrinkage and Strength Behavior of Highly Plastic Clay Improved by Brick Dust
Journal of Engineering, 2020 Highly plastic soils exhibit unfavorited properties upon saturation, which produce different defects in engineering structures. Attempts were made by researchers to proffer solutions to these defects by experimenting in practical ways.

Pile-Soil Interaction in Unsaturated Soil Conditions [PDF]
, 2014 The degree of saturation has been proven to significantly affect geotechnical engineering designs for foundations. The changes in water content will influence the way the soil behaves, including its strength and stiffness parameters.

The Influence of Grain Crushing and Pore Collapse on the Formation of Faults
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract During an earthquake, slip occurs in a localized shear zone that features a heavily granulated fault core that can be characterized as a shear band. We study the formation of this fault core in a granular rock such as sandstone by developing a model of crushable granular media within the framework of Breakage Mechanics. This model accounts for
