Soil mechanics as a field of science has been developed for over a century. One of its most
important issues is determination of soil strength. Despite passing years, there is still no …

The characteristic of interface shear between carbonate sands and steel is important for the
design of onshore/offshore foundations in coral reef deposit. By using an interface ring shear …

The shear properties of carbonate sand and structure interface are of significance for the
engineering construction. The parallel paper (Rui et al. in Acta Geotech, 2020) focuses on …

Landslides in Jurassic red-strata make up a great part of geohazards in the Three Gorges
Reservoir (TGR) in China. Most of them begin to move slowly with the accumulated …

The friction angle is the most important parameter used for analysing the response of sands
to loading. However, its variation with stress level, fabric and particle damage has been …

Due to the relatively different mechanical and physical properties of soils and structures, the
interface plays a critical role in the transfer of stress and strain between them. The stability …

In this paper, particle damage of three test sands with different mineralogical compositions is
studied using stress–displacement response measured in ring shear tests, particle-size …

In reactivated slow-moving landslides, the prediction of velocity and displacement is a
crucial issue for understanding landslide kinematics and realizing warning systems. A …

Global interest in the geotechnical stability of tailings storage facilities (TSFs) has burgeoned
over the past decade. In particular, the widely accessible video of the catastrophic failure of …

The behavior of a sand-steel interface can be different than the shearing behavior of a sand.
This study focuses on the effect of shear loading on a sand-to-sand and a sand-steel …
