The simulation of various rock properties based on three‐dimensional digital cores plays an
increasingly important role in oil and gas exploration and development. The accuracy of 3D …

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 soils are aeolian deposits of primarily silt sized soil particles, which are often lightly
cemented. The wind-blown depositional process of loess formation yields a relatively loose …

Soil collapse forms a major hazard in large parts of Canada, the United States, Europe,
China, and Africa, especially in the Loess Plateau of China. The Malan loess overlying the …

As the macroscopic mechanical properties of soil are closely related to its microstructure,
and loess historically played an important role in engineering construction, the effect of …

Loess exhibits typical water sensitivity and dynamic vulnerability. The combination of rainfall
and earthquake-related issues presents a complex disaster process, posing a significant …

Loess was first identified in England as early as the mid-19th century, although these
deposits were later mapped as 'brickearth'or 'head-brickearth'by the British Geological …

In the construction of metro tunnels, water gushing accidents caused by the rupture of
underground pipeline often occur, and in loess area, the collapsibility of loess makes this …

The 3D characterization of particle kinematics representing the changes in fabric observed
during water-driven collapse of loess is, to the best of our knowledge, performed for the first …

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 …
