The ground is a natural grand system; it is composed of myriad constituents that aggregate
to form several geologic and biogenic systems. These systems operate independently and …

Collapsible soils have caused infrastructural damages resulting in several economic losses
and loss of lives in certain cases. The prerequisite for collapse occurring is an open …

Using the major land-creation project 'to bulldoze mountains to build cities' implemented in
the city of Yan'an as an example, the collapse potential, microscopic observations …

Loess is a silt-dominated, clastic yellow-to-yellowish brown aeolian sediment with high
porosity and low density. The metastable microstructure of loess makes it highly susceptible …

Whether the so-called double porosity in soils with a loose and natural packing state is a
concept with real-world implications is a fundamental yet controversial question in the study …

Loess is the most important collapsible soil; possibly the only engineering soil in which real
collapse occurs. A real collapse involves a diminution in volume–it would be an open …

Organic clays are ideal habitat for flora and fauna. From a geotechnical perspective, organic
clays are soft, weak, variable, heterogeneous and flocculated. Portland cement is a …

Colloidal nano-silica (NS) hydrosols are electrochemically stabilized, polymerized
amorphous silica in low viscosity solutions, and in the form of hydrated gels, silica globules …

Studying the effect of different percentages of mixing rice straw fibres (RSF) on the
compressive strength (CS) of collapsible soils stabilised with different amounts of cement …

Collapsibility constitutes a significant factor contributing to frequent geological hazards on
the Loess Plateau, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of it for geological disaster …
