Burgers-type empirical creep model for unsaturated soil considering matric suction
Reservoir bank slopes are often in an unsaturated state due to water level fluctuations and atmospheric precipitation, which can easily trigger landslides. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a creep model for unsaturated soils that accounts for matric

An elastoplastic model for unsaturated expansive soils based on shakedown concept [PDF]
It is important to model the behaviour of unsaturated expansive soils subjected to hydromechanical loadings, because these wetting and drying cycles alter significantly their hydromechanical behaviour which may cause a huge differential settlement on the ...

ABSTRACT There is substantial potential for the procurement of food by public institutions to contribute to Sustainable Development across multiple environmental, social, and economic outcomes. In this study we used theories of policy instrumentation and learning to analyse global guidance for designing public food procurement instruments to leverage ...

Numerical analysis of desiccation, shrinkage and cracking in low plasticity clayey soils [PDF]
This paper presents a numerical study of the desiccation processes of low-plasticity clayey soils that usually result in shrinkage and often in cracking.

Basal anti-heave stability of foundation pits in unsaturated soils
It is known that the soils surrounding a foundation pit are commonly in an unsaturated condition and the displacement of a retaining wall routinely rotates around wall bottom (i.e., RB displacement mode). The bearing capacity of strip foundations at wall

Biomimetic nanocarriers based on liposomes and Myxobacteria outer‐membrane vesicles (OMVs) are effective antibiotic delivery systems. Hybrids have a higher drug loading and can target intracellular pathogens, while OMVs evade immune clearance. Biomimetic nanoantibiotics effectively eliminate the biofilms of Gram‐negative bacteria. Besides, Myxobacteria

Consolidation Apparatus for Testing Unsaturated Soils
Abstract An apparatus for performing consolidation tests under K0 conditions was designed and constructed for testing unsaturated soils. Three types of consolidation tests are of interest in unsaturated soils. These are: (1) constant water content loading tests, (2) consolidation under a net total stress, and (3) consolidation under a ...
