Capturing Complex Rate‐Dependent Behaviors of Saturated Clays: A Fractional Consistency Kinematic Hardening Viscoplastic Approach

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 8, Page 3281-3296, 10 June 2026.
ABSTRACT Saturated high plasticity clays show complex nonlinear, rate‐dependent, and hysteresis behaviors under non‐monotonic stress paths, requiring advanced mathematical constitutive equations for accurate description. Taking into account the inherent advantages of kinematic hardening mechanisms in simulating complex stress histories, this paper ...

Fluid‐Driven Cohesive Strengthening: Critical Role of Reaction Kinetics as the Determinant for Frictional Stability

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Following an earthquake, faults lock and regain strength via a combination of healing mechanisms that include pressure solution, contact growth, and cementation. Fault healing dictates strength recovery during the seismic cycle and is therefore a key factor controlling earthquake recurrence intervals, stress drop, and other source properties ...

Hydrological Impact of Earthquakes on Reverse and Normal Faults: Results From Numerical Models

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract I investigate earthquake‐induced hydrological signals related to poroelastic deformation, thermal pressurization, fault‐zone dilatancy and rupture of a pressurized reservoir at depth. This is performed using a two dimensional plane strain model that simulates ruptures on reverse and normal faults governed by rate‐and‐state friction coupled to ...

Undrained shear strength of the heavily consolidated clay

Annals of Warsaw University of Life Sciences - SGGW. Land Reclamation, 2013
Abstract Undrained shear strength of the heavily consolidated clay. The undrained shear strength (cu) is considered one of the most basic parameter characterizing soils in engineering practice. The particular importance of cu is in the case of clayey soil. This parameter also is the basis for the classification of soil according to the ISO standard.

Reactivation Mechanism of Dormant Earthflows: Insights From the San Benedetto Landslide (Northern Apennines, Italy)

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Earthflows are landslides in fine‐grained materials that alternate long dormant phases of very slow movement with short paroxysmal stages of rapid motion. These rapid phases are highly destructive, often causing severe damage to buildings and infrastructure.

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 ...

Numerical Investigation of Bored Tunnelling Effects on Pile‐Supported Superstructures

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 7, Page 3155-3173, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Tunnelling in urban environments can significantly affect existing buried structures such as pile foundations. However, the current understanding of how tunnelling‐induced ground movements influence the stability and serviceability of piles remains limited. This knowledge gap presents potential risks that must be addressed during tunnel design
