Energy geotechnics involves the use of geotechnical principles to understand and engineer
the coupled thermo-hydro-chemo-mechanical processes encountered in collecting …

This paper provides theoretical background, laboratory data and full-scale measurements
useful in understanding the interaction between soils and geosynthetics under unsaturated …

A transient water release and imbibitions (TWRI) method for measuring the soil water
retention curve (SWRC) and hydraulic conductivity function (HCF) under drying and wetting …

Soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) is an important unsaturated soil property relating the
water content of a soil to soil suction and it is conventionally measured using Tempe cell …

At first glance, roads seem like the simplest possible geotechnical structures. However,
analysis of these structures runs up against complexities related to the intense stresses …

Mobile colloids can play an important role in contaminant transport in soils: many
contaminants exist in colloidal form, and colloids can facilitate transport of otherwise …

For electro-osmotic consolidation in unsaturated soils, coupled deformation, inconsistent
changes in hydraulic conductivity and electro-osmotic permeability with matric suction, and a …

Centrifuge testing has been increasingly implemented to characterize the mechanical and
hydraulic behavior of partially saturated soils. Common procedures include unsaturated flow …

Rainfall is a major triggering factor of landslides in flysch deposits along Europe. Physical
and mechanical changes of flysch rock masses caused by the weathering process, result in …

A new testing approach for characterization of the response of partially saturated sand
layers to cyclic loading is described in this paper. The approach involves basal shaking of a …
