Triaxial test is approved to be the most suitable method for studying the mechanical
properties of rocks and soils in lab. Through conventional triaxial tests, parameters like the …

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 …

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

This paper presents an experimental investigation of internal deformation in transparent
sand caused by a pile moving under oblique pullout loads using the digital image …

Real-time early warning systems for shallow landslides are typically built upon real-time
measurements and forecasts of rainfall and empirical correlations between past patterns of …

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 …

This paper introduces transparent cemented soil as a surrogate for the physical modelling of
geotechnical problems. The transparent soil consists of fused quartz particles that form the …

Tropical montane cloud forests (TMCF) receive additional ('occult') inputs of water from fog
and wind‐driven rain. Together with the concomitant reduction in evaporative losses, this …

Debris flows in slopes initially dry, such as post-wildfire debris flows, are initiated by surface
runoff and sediment bulking due to reduced infiltration. Soil water repellency, extreme dry …

Infiltration is a vadose zone process of interest to a wide range of research communities
including agriculture, soil physics, and geotechnical engineering. In geotechnical …
