The growing interest in the maintenance of favorable soil structure is largely motivated by its
central role in plant growth, soil ecological functioning, and impacts on surface water and …

Soil compaction caused by agricultural vehicles is a global problem affecting a considerable
proportion of all arable land and causing tremendous costs to farmers and society. Soil …

In this paper, a well designed experimental study comprising undrained cyclic triaxial and
bender element tests was carried out on five sand-silt mixtures with three grain size ratios (R …

Shear wave velocity (V s) offers engineers a promising alternative tool to evaluate
liquefaction resistance of sandy soils, and the lack of sufficient in-situ databases makes …

There are growing evidence indicating that earthquakes occur more frequently in the
Chinese Loess Plateau, which can possibly cause saturated intact loess liquefaction …

This paper presents the results of large-size cyclic simple shear testing on three uniform
gravels (Pea Gravel, 8-mm Crushed Limestone, and 5-mm Crushed Limestone), which …

Urban loess subgrades are affected by considerable vibrations from traffic, especially when
the underground pipelines leak, and seepage under vibrations often causes road damage …
