Impacts of Transient Critical Zone Evolution on Landslide Susceptibility and Hazard Across the Utuado Batholith, Puerto Rico

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Landscapes in humid climates often experience rapid chemical and mechanical weathering that can change groundwater fluxes, drainage pathways, and frictional strength via alterations in subsurface mineral composition and matrix porosity. These changes to hillslope critical zone structure and strength should control landslide susceptibility ...

Estimation of the compaction characteristics of soils using the static compaction method

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration, 2020
Ground improvement using mechanical stabilization is commonly applied by performing the standard Proctor compaction test, which requires a significant quantity of soil, usually obtained from open pits.

Influence of Surface Processes on Intrarift Fault Displacement: 1.38 Million Years of Fault Slip Behavior in the Lake Malawi (Nyasa) Rift

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Surface processes, including hydroclimate variations, affect crustal deformation and fault behavior. These controls are especially important for intrarift faults in continental rift systems, which accommodate substantial strain while experiencing large hydrological load variations beneath rift lakes.

Undrained shear strength from piezocone tests

International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts, 1988
With the advent of piezocones — penetrometers measuring both the mechanical resistance and induced pore pressures near the tip during penetration into the soil — a new interpretation of penetrometer test data is possible. This paper presents a review of available interpretation methods for obtaining the undrained shear strength of soft soils, and ...

Thermal and Structural Signatures Associated With Subducted Seamounts in Hyuga‐nada and Off Cape Muroto, Southwest Japan

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract We present heat flow estimates beneath the forearc slopes off Hyuga‐nada and Cape Muroto in the Nankai Trough, where the Philippine Sea plate subducts beneath the southwestern Japan. Using seismic reflection data, we identified Bottom Simulating Reflectors and derived heat flow ranging from 20 to >140 mW/m2.

Learning From Crushing Failures: Changes in Physical Properties Reveal the Mechanics of Submarine Carbonate Landslides

Basin Research, Volume 38, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
Changes in the physical properties of calcareous ooze between intact weak layers and glide planes within the same stratigraphy provide new constraints on the deformation processes and mechanical factors that control the mobility and erosive behaviour of submarine carbonate landslides.

Modeling Biocemented Sands: Hypoplastic Model for MICP‐Based Ground Improvement

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 12, Page 4893-4912, 25 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Bio‐cementation offers a sustainable and low‐carbon alternative to conventional ground improvement methods, aligning with the growing demand for green geotechnical solutions. To enable reliable numerical simulation of bio‐cemented soil behavior in engineering applications, advanced constitutive models are required to account for the effects of

Field and Experimental Observations Show Elevated Shear Strength of Active Margin Sediments Requires Processes Beyond Normal Consolidation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Near‐seafloor marine sediments on active margins have been shown to be stronger than those on passive margins. However, the reasons for this are not fully understood. To investigate the role of intrinsic properties, we performed resedimentation and oedometer tests and measured undrained shear strength, grain size, mineralogy, and plasticity on

Evaluation of the Undrained Shear Strength in Preconsolidated Cohesive Soils Based on the Seismic Dilatometer Test

Applied Sciences, 2019
The undrained shear strength in cohesive soils can be evaluated based on measurements obtained from the standard dilatometer test (DMT) using single- and multi-factor empirical relationships.
