The construction period of most tailing ponds generally lasts for more than 10 years or even
decades. During this period, it may be affected by more than one earthquake and is often …

In simulations of granular mixtures with real-shaped particles, fine particles are mostly
simplified to spheres to improve computational efficiency. The basis for simplification is that …

Processed tire wastes mixed with soils are applicable as lightweight fillers for slopes,
subbases of pavements and retaining walls that may be subjected to seismic loads, eg …

The mechanical behaviors of binary mixtures are different from that of uniform soils.
However, experimental studies on the dynamic responses of sand-silt mixtures considering …

The mining industry generates a notable amount of mine tailings (MTs). Disposal of MTs
creates environmental impacts such as air pollution and the release of heavy metals into …

Historical cases show that the liquefaction of sand is an important cause of earthquake
disasters. Geosynthetics are widely used to improve the performance of sand deposit …

Whether the so-called double porosity in soils with a loose and natural packing state is a
concept with real-world implications is a fundamental yet controversial question in the study …

A series of undrained cyclic shear tests was carried out on saturated coral sands, with
different initial physical states, as they were subjected to rotations of 90° in the paths of cyclic …

The natural and artificial sand soils always incorporate other small particles, which makes
the soil liquefaction resistance difficult to predict. The particle size may change from 10− 5 m …

Evaluating the cyclic strength development using energy-based methods is a novel concept
in studying the dynamic properties of sand–clay mixtures under cyclic loading. In this study …
