The ground is a natural grand system; it is composed of myriad constituents that aggregate
to form several geologic and biogenic systems. These systems operate independently and …

Granite residual soil (GRS) contains a large amount of kaolinite, which is highly hydrophilic
and thus easily disintegrated by water. These characteristics may cause severe landslides …

As a kind of highly weathered special soil in South China, granite residual soils (GRS)
feature high strength and high void ratio in a dry environment, so they tend to disintegrate in …

The presence of non-biodegradable plastic waste is a serious concern for the health of
endangered species. The present study is based on the sustainable utilisation of …

The influences of root concentration and suction were investigated on Chrysopogon
zizanioides (vetiver grass) root-reinforcement of clayey sand, using suction-monitored direct …

In response to the global outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), a staggering
amount of personal protective equipment, such as disposable face masks, has been used …

In waste disposal landfill projects, the hydraulic conductivity of the barriers is a major
consideration. The use of fibers mixed with backfill may improve the overall performance of …

Adding fiber reinforcement to a loose sand alters the effective stress of the sand skeleton.
The rate of pore water pressure build-up when undrained is reduced, and liquefaction may …

An experimental study has been carried out for studying the influence of combinations of
relative densities of two layered soil system. The model tests have been performed for the …

Climate change has resulted in increasing attention being paid to the effects of temperature
and humidity on vegetated soil. However, existing constitutive models rarely investigate the …
