While the anisotropy of sedimentary soil—particularly the underlying role of soil structure—is
well understood, similar knowledge about granite residual soil formed by weathering is …

Fissured clays exhibit unique geotechnical behaviors, with the stiffness characteristics
evolving dynamically in response to environmental changes. To address this issue, reported …

The fissure in expansive soil is an important factor to control the failure and stability of
expansive soil foundation, slope, and underground engineering. This study utilizes the …

Determination of the critical state of tailings is essential to the stability analysis of tailings
dams, especially to assess the susceptibility to flow liquefaction failures. In contrast to the …

Determining the evolution characteristics of cracks and shear bands is important for
understanding the damage mechanisms of geotechnical materials. However, there are few …

This study conducts several triaxial cyclic and plane strain cyclic impact tests on fissured soil
under varying effective consolidation pressures, impact peak loads, and frequencies through …

Variations in excavation construction periods for fissured soil transportation engineering
lead to differing unloading rates, which affect the soil's mechanical properties. This study …

An important characteristic of some clays is their abundance of fissures. In the case study
reported here, to investigate how the fissure inclination angle affects the deformation and …

In geotechnical engineering, the small-strain shear modulus and its attenuation
characteristics are pivotal for analyzing and evaluating soil vibration responses to various …

Recent improvements in micro-scale material descriptions allow to build increasingly refined
multiscale models in geomechanics. This often comes at the expense of computational cost …
