Epigenetics is the epi-information beyond the DNA sequence that can be inherited from
parents to offspring. From years of studies, people have found that histone modifications …

Numerous yellows-type diseases of plants have been associated with wall-less prokaryote
pathogens–phytoplasmas over the last 40 years. These pathogens are not grown in axenic …

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 …

The classic experiment of a yielding trapdoor in (two-dimensional) plane strain beneath a
granular mass is revisited, this time in the high-gravity environment of a geotechnical …

Geotechnical seismic isolation (GSI) system involves the dynamic interaction between
structure and low‐modulus foundation material, such as rubber‐soil mixtures (RSM). Whilst …

A water-filled cave can easily result in the deterioration of the surrounding rock when a
shield tunnel passes through the urban karst area, resulting in engineering disasters such …

Earth platforms supported by rigid columns provide an effective solution for embankments
founded on thick deposits of soft soils. Nevertheless, the failure mechanisms and associated …

Abstract LEAP (Liquefaction Experiments and Analysis Projects) is an effort to formalize the
process and provide data needed for validation of numerical models designed to predict …

A complete characterization detailing the intricate and complex response of geomaterials
remains a challenging task that can only be realized on a partial basis via a careful drilling …

Wind Energy is the one of the most promising renewable energy. Suction bucket foundation
is considered to be a viable type of wind turbine foundation. Soil liquefaction caused by …
