Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract This study examined the spatiotemporal variability in geotechnical properties of beach cusp sediments on a sandy beach and tested if such variability can be used for cusp monitoring from satellite imagery. Specifically, sediment properties (including moisture content (w), relative density (Dr), sediment strength (QSBC) and friction angle (ϕ ...

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.

Micromechanical analysis of kinematic hardening in natural clay [PDF]
, 2009 This paper presents a micromechanical analysis of the macroscopic behaviour of natural clay. A microstructural stress-strain model for clayey material has been developed which considers clay as a collection of clusters.

Undrained Shear Strength of Overconsolidated Clay
, 2022 It has been known for a long time now that in soft and sensitive clays undrained failure occurs apparently before the full friction angle has been mobilized. The main object of this paper is to clarify the importance of deformations in the process of mobilizing undrained shear strength.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Submarine landslides occur globally and have the potential to damage seafloor infrastructure and trigger tsunamis. Recently, diatomaceous weak layers have been hypothesized to play a role in triggering submarine landslides on passive continental margins by generating overpressure.

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 ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract One promising potential site for extracting supercritical geothermal fluids is the Krafla volcano, Iceland, into which a borehole was drilled very close to a shallow rhyolite magma chamber at about 2 km depth. Besides the technical challenge to drill in this setting, the extreme temperature conditions of T > 900°C close to the magma body may ...

Report and preliminary results of RV METEOR Cruise M78/3. Sediment transport off Uruguay and Argentina: from the shelf to the deep sea ; 19.05.2009 – 06.07.2009, Montevideo (Uruguay) – Montevideo (Uruguay) [PDF]
, 2012 The waters off Uruguay and Northern Argentina offer the possibility to study sediment transport processes from ‘source-to-sink’ in a relatively small area.

Fault reactivation by fluid injection: Controls from stress state and injection rate [PDF]
, 2018 We studied the influence of stress state and fluid injection rate on the reactivation of faults. We conducted experiments on a saw-cut Westerly granite sample under triaxial stress conditions.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.Abstract Swarms are microearthquake clusters governed by aseismic deformation, fluid migration, and stress changes, but the underlying mechanisms for their recurrence remain elusive. In 2008, abundant swarms were observed on the westernmost Gofar transform fault.
