The mechanical behavior of frozen soils plays a central role in the design, construction, and
maintenance of buildings and infrastructure in cold regions. We present and discuss the …

Artificial ground freezing (AGF) has been utilized in a range of engineerings, including
tunneling, shaft sinking, deep excavations, and the construction of underground structures …

A comprehensive characterization of the seafloor is difficult, as natural marine sediments
comprise granular materials. In particular, the presence of diatoms in granular mixtures …

The engineering characteristics of ocean sediments are significantly affected by fine
particles such as diatoms. The objective of this study is to investigate experimentally the …

Biopolymers have recently been used as ecofriendly materials for soil improvement in terms
of stabilization, compressibility, and engineering parameters. The objective of this study is to …

Different from other geotechnical materials, the strength characteristics of saturated frozen
soil have nonlinear characteristics that first increase and then reduce with the increasing …

Characteristics of ice constituent and soil particles primarily determine the mechanical
properties of fill materials in extreme regions. The objective of this study is to investigate the …

Modelling the mechanical behaviour of partially saturated soils requires special treatment
due to interactions among solid, water and air phases. The issue extends also to frozen soils …

Uniaxial impact tests were conducted on frozen soil samples with different moisture contents
and loading strain rates, using a split Hopkinson pressure bar to obtain the dynamic stress …

In the geological field, unexpected tailing failures have recently occurred and caused critical
damage. The objective of this study was to evaluate the porosity of mine tailing using …
