Instead of fixating on formulae, Soil Mechanics: Concepts and Applications, Third Edition
focuses on the fundamentals. This book describes the mechanical behaviour of soils as it …

Natural soils are usually heterogeneous and characterized with complex microstructures.
Sand–clay mixtures are often used as simplified soils to investigate the mechanical …

Design practice in offshore geotechnical engineering has grown out of onshore practice, but
the two application areas have tended to diverge over the last thirty years, driven partly by …

Size and morphological characteristics of particles play vital role on the shear and interfacial
shear strength of sands. Often, effects of these parameters are merged and cannot be easily …

Laboratory experiments performed on friction sleeves sheared against sands of varying
particle angularity and size have shown the important role of surface texture on the strength …

The paper presents the results from an experimental program carried out at Trinity College
Dublin, in which instrumented model piles were jacked into loose dry sand in a large testing …

The characteristic of interface shear between carbonate sands and steel is important for the
design of onshore/offshore foundations in coral reef deposit. By using an interface ring shear …

The shear properties of carbonate sand and structure interface are of significance for the
engineering construction. The parallel paper (Rui et al. in Acta Geotech, 2020) focuses on …

The validity of using the existing numerical py methods [American Petroleum Institute (API)
and Reese methods] for the design of offshore wind turbines' large-diameter monopiles in …

Sand-steel interface tests have been performed using a modified direct shear apparatus that
enables accurate dilation measurements to be taken. Average roughness and maximum …
