Seepage-induced internal erosion in earth-filled embankment dams has been attracting the
attention of civil engineering researchers and practitioners for decades. Microbially induced …

Seepage-induced fine-particle migration that leads to a change in the conductivity of a soil
matrix is referred to as internal instability. This could jeopardize the structural integrity of the …

One of the major causes of instability in geotechnical structures such as dikes or earth dams
is the phenomenon of suffusion including detachment, transport and filtration of fine particles …

Suffusion is a selective erosion of fine particles under the effect of seepage flow within the
matrix of coarser particles. This complex phenomenon appears as a combination of three …

Soil internal erosion refers to any process that the finer grains are eroded from the matrix of
coarser grains due to seepage. A coupled computational fluid dynamics and discrete …

The internal erosion of soils is a critical factor that can cause infiltration damage in slope and
embankment works. Under conditions of heavy rainfall, storm surge, and waves, the soil is …

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Microbially Induced Calcite
Precipitation (MICP) for improving internal erosion resistance of gravel-sand mixtures. Two …

This paper reports on a series of laboratory hydraulic tests on a select range of granular
soils compacted at relative densities between 0% and 100%. The critical hydraulic gradient …

Deformation induced by finer particle loss is an important phenomenon during suffusion of
gap-graded soils. This study focuses on the role of particle stress played in the particle loss …

The rail network plays an essential role in transport infrastructure worldwide. A ballasted
track is commonly used for several reasons, including economic considerations, load …
