Microbial geotechnology or biogeotechnology is a new branch of geotechnical engineering.
It involves the use of microbiology for traditional geotechnical applications. Many new …

Earthquake-induced liquefaction is a prominent and impactful natural hazard responsible for
substantial economic losses worldwide. Hence, engineers and researchers are currently …

A review of liquefaction case histories shows that sand deposits containing some fines were
common in past liquefaction events. While current liquefaction mitigation measures are …

Dynamic shear modulus plays an important role in the seismic assessment of geotechnical
systems. Changes in the degree of water saturation influence dynamic soil properties …

The significant damage observed during recent earthquakes resulting from liquefaction of
shallow saturated soil deposits beneath structures has illustrated the need for further …

This paper proposes a generalized framework to estimate the seismic active earth thrust on
rigid retaining walls with unsaturated backfill. A novel suction stress-dependent approach …

The liquefaction or softening of the soils and the potential vulnerability of existing buildings
on liquefiable soils continue to be of major concern to the public because it has repeatedly …

Over the last 40 years, there have been several ship losses carrying granular mineral ores
that are believed to have been caused by the sudden shifting of the cargo as a result of …

Centrifuge testing has been increasingly implemented to characterize the mechanical and
hydraulic behavior of partially saturated soils. Common procedures include unsaturated flow …

A series of strain-controlled cyclic triaxial tests were conducted to estimate the dynamic
properties and the cyclic behaviour of partially saturated synthetic fine-and medium-grained …
