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.

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 ...

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.

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

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 ...

Seafloor Sediments, Morphologic Features, and Geotechnical Properties of Harrison Bay in the Alaskan Beaufort Sea

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Sediments on Arctic continental shelves are impacted by sea ice and ice‐related processes for up to 9 months per year. As a result, seabed morphology in cold regions can exhibit features such as ice scours which are absent on lower‐latitude shelves.

FEM‐Peridynamic Modelling of Supershear Earthquake Ruptures in Dry and Fluid‐Saturated Media

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Since ground shaking increases with rupture speed during earthquakes, the velocity transition from sub‐Rayleigh to supershear in mode II fracture is crucial for the propagation of seismic ruptures and associated strong ground motions. We employ a newly conceived 2‐dimensional hybrid Finite Element Method and Peridynamic (FEM/PD‐2D) model to ...

Mechanisms controlling the undrained shear strength behaviour of clays

, 1999
The undrained shear strength behaviour of kaolinitic soils is shown to be quite opposite to that observed for montmorillonitic soils under different physico-chemical environments.
