The liquefaction or softening of the soils and the potential vulnerability of existing buildings
on liquefiable soils continue to be of major concern to the public because it has repeatedly …

Tailings are waste materials of mining operations, consisting of a mixture of clay, silt, sand
with a high content of unrecoverable metals, process water, and chemical reagents. They …

Tailing dams are complex geotechnical systems comprising of an embankment and a basin
containing the waste products from the mining processes. These structures are …

The particle characteristics of sandy soils play a major role in the shear strength response in
terms of the flow potential and friction index of partially saturated sandy soils. In this context …

This study presents a series of triaxial tests to highlight the effect of saturation degree
ranging from 79.8% to 100% on the behavior of sand subjected to cyclic loading, the …

Static soil liquefaction is widely known to be a serious danger to the stability of structures.
The phenomena governing pore water generation, which leads to liquefaction in fully …

Several monotonic triaxial consolidated drained (CD) and consolidated undrained (CU)
tests were conducted to investigate the effect of biogenic gas formation through microbial …

The determination of favorite engineering indexes which are sufficient and necessary to
reflect particle size distribution (PSD) is a key issue to bridge micro to macro behaviors of …

In the last few years, many studies have focused on the behaviour of unsaturated sands
subjected to dynamic loading and there is consensus that soils with saturation degree lower …

The study of the unsaturated soils is a very complex field to which several researches in
laboratory and on site are directed these last years. An experimental study aims to quantify …
