Compacted loess soil is used as a geo-material in many engineering projects, such as
building foundations and highway embankments. Water infiltration characteristics and post …

It is important to maintain the safety of road driving by automatically performing a series of
processes to automatically measure and repair damage to the road pavement. However …

Compaction quality is directly related with the shear strength of soils. Inadequately
compacted soils have lower shear strength that decrease the load bearing capacity and …

Loss of matric suction during rain has an important effect on the instability of expansive soil
slope. A new device was designed for testing the expansive force in order to propose and …

Wetting-induced collapse of coarse saline soil foundations is a frequently encountered
problem in the inland basin of Northwest China, but this particular behavior and relevant …

Soil suction is a critical stress-state variable essential to characterize the behaviour of
unsaturated soils. The evaluation of soil suction is challenging in both field and laboratory …

Urban pruning waste can have multiple uses from direct burning wood as energy to its use
as organic fertilizers in the composting process. However, the lack of suitable places for the …
