Transparent soils have evolved in the past two decades as a useful tool for the physical
modeling of soil-structure interaction mechanisms, saturated-unsaturated hydraulic …

This state-of-the-art covers advances in the constitutive modelling, experimental
investigation and field measurement of suction for unsaturated soils. It consists of three …

The majority of geoengineering applications occur in the unsaturated (vadose) zone, which
is the near-surface region forming the connection between meteorological phenomena …

In the past two decades, the visualization experiment technology for transparent
geotechnical materials has developed into a method of observing deformation, fluid flow and …

Though amendment using coal gasification coarse slag (CGCS) has garnered attention, the
intrinsic mechanism of how CGCS, a glassy material, works to amend physicochemical …

This paper introduces a hypothesis to link the soil pore size distribution curve (PSDC) to the
bimodal soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC). The relationships between the PSDC and …

Mathematical simulation of oil permeation through the porous media is the crucial topical
problem in the framework of localization and liquidation of emergency oil spills. The main …

Periodic wave barriers have been widely used to manipulate elastic waves propagating in
saturated and single-phase soil due to their attenuation zone properties. However, it is …

The field monitoring of the climatic-induced behaviour of the expansive soil has always been
difficult, expensive and time consuming. The uncontrollability of the field boundary …

Short wave infrared (SWIR) image analysis provides an accurate procedure to measure the
degree of saturation (Sr) of soils. Changes in Sr result in reflectance changes, which are …
