Soils are generally considered anisotropic with respect to hydraulic conductivity, while the evolution of the anisotropy condition is unknown for bare and vegetated soils. Therefore, the …
Expansive soils undergo volumetric changes due to moisture variations as a result of soil- atmosphere interaction. In this study, the moisture-induced volumetric changes in …
Infrastructure construction in seasonally frozen regions, covering 23% of total land, faces challenges from freeze-thaw (FT) induced damages. Expansive soils, as an important …
Understanding strain and fracture evolution in rock masses under climate change is crucial for slope stability. This study presents a fully coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) …
Understanding the complex behaviour of cracked ground surface resulting from the desiccation process in swelling soils has received significant attention in recent years. The …
Understanding how the rapidly changing climatic forcing is affecting the complex mechanical interactions between rock masses is crucial for assessing the stability of rock …
The soil exposed to freeze-thaw cycles experiences cyclic volumetric changes. When pore water freezes, it undergoes a phase change into ice, resulting in an expansion of soil …
Bridge foundation settlement monitoring is crucial for infrastructure safety management, as uneven settlement can lead to stress redistribution, structural damage, and potentially …
