In order to clarify the micro‐mechanics of clay during compression, the behavior of clay
subjected to one‐dimensional compression is investigated at the particle scale using …

In recent decades, the constitutive modelling for frozen soils has attracted remarkable
attention from scholars and engineers due to the continuously growing constructions in cold …

Laminar flow phenomena may occur when pore water flows at low velocities across the
interfaces between soils of different properties, thus causing flow contact resistance. To …

Contemporary geotechnical engineering practice encompasses design and construction of
thermo-active geo-structures or structures which would encounter thermal cycles throughout …

Current overstress typed elastic viscoplastic models fall short in describing some time-
dependent mechanical behaviors of anisotropically overconsolidated clays …

This paper proposes a novel fractional-order two-surface constitutive model for over-
consolidated clays within the framework of the fractional plasticity and bounding surface …

Thermal-induced geotechnical problems in offshore engineering, such as marine energy
exploitation and submarine nuclear waste disposal, have recently attracted increasing …

This paper presents an experimental study on the thermomechanical behavior of marine
clay from the Santos Basin off the coast of Brazil. The aim of the study is to assess the gain in …

Stiff clay exists widely in the world, but its significant time-and temperature-dependent
mechanical features have not been fully modeled. In the context of fractional consistency …

Clay formations present very favourable conditions for the long-term containment of
radioactive waste due to their low hydraulic conductivity, high radionuclide retention …
