A state-of-the-art review has been conducted in this work on soil constitutive modeling,
which has emphasized on: soil type, ground-water conditions, loading conditions, structural …

This paper established a coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical mechanism in view of the soil
particle rearrangement for saturated/unsaturated soils under the framework of granular …

Desiccation crack is an important factor affecting engineering properties of clayey soils. In
this study, the effects of compaction state and wetting-drying cycles on desiccation cracking …

Most of the previous studies on the effects of pore structure on soil water retention behaviour
are limited to a single drying and wetting cycle. This study evaluated the effects of pore …

A series of laboratory tests were conducted on intact specimens of two loess soils to
characterize their collapsibility, shear strength, microstructure and mineralogy. In addition …

Desiccation cracking has a significant influence on the hydro-mechanical behaviour of soils.
Most previous studies focus on the desiccation cracking of slurry soil samples, whereas little …

The efficiency of calcium lignosulfonate (CLS) as an expansive soil stabiliser was studied.
CLS is a bio-based polymer, obtained as a sub-product of the paper industry. Its use as a …

Limited experimental and theoretical research has been conducted on the shear strength of
unsaturated soils over a wide suction range. This study aimed to investigate the shear …

This study investigates the influences of moisture content and freeze–thaw (FT) cycles on
the compression behaviors of a compacted clay. Compacted specimens were first …

Due to climate change, extreme rainfalls happen more frequently with different patterns.
Biochar and plant roots can affect soil water retention curve (SWRC) and hence slope …
