Infrastructure embankment failures due to flooding have been recorded in many countries.
The consequences of flood-induced embankment failures have mainly been limited to …

Internal erosion is a major cause of dam or dike failures and incidents. In this study,
laboratory tests were conducted to investigate the deformation of two gap-graded soils …

Soil curling is a common phenomenon in nature due to the rearrangement of soil particles
caused by moisture loss. The occurrence of curling in soils significantly affects soil …

Assessing passive earth pressure is fundamental in geotechnical engineering practice.
Mineral dissolution in the soil can reduce the soil strength, causing an overestimation of …

Soil particles may be lost through dissolution, degradation or erosion. Regardless of the
process of loss, there follows a change in soil structure both in terms of phase composition …

Geotechnical engineering projects are often at risk from threats related to mineral dissolution
and loss of particles that constitute the matrix of the geomaterial. Moreover, the impact of …

Footings are often situated on ground that includes voids that were either undetected or had
not formed at the time of construction. In this study, small-strain finite element analyses are …

Soil is composed of particles of various sizes. Once some particles are removed in a
physical or chemical process, the particle contacts and soil microstructure will change …

Fine particle loss in soil is one of the main causes of slope instability and geotechnical
structure failure. Loss of fines can cause instability in granular assembles by changing the …

With large-scale construction of landfills, the study of the properties of municipal solid waste
(MSW) has become an important subject. The objective of this study is to propose a new …
