Road embankments in the mountains of Southwest China are typically constructed using
locally available block stones left over from cutting and tunnel blasting. However, due to the …

This paper offers an extension of Cauchy's first law of motion to deformable bodies with
internal resistance with application to earth pressures. In this respect, a unified continuum …

Assessing vertical and lateral earth pressure is important in geotechnical and foundation
engineering. Vertical stresses are easy to calculate assuming a geostatic stress condition …

The influence of towing speed on the effectiveness of the 4-sided impact roller using earth
pressure cells (EPCs) is investigated. Two field trials were undertaken; the first trial used …

This paper provides a method of properly calibrating tactile pressure sensors for the
measurement of stress in soils subjected to short-term and long-term static loading. Tailor …

This report presents a new large-scale test apparatus (LSTA) developed to assess the
efficiency of a geosynthetic reinforcement for the limitation of deformations of a geosynthetic …

Innovative sensors can provide new capabilities to monitor and understand the behavior of
soil, rock, and geo-structures and help geotechnical engineers make informed decisions …

A centrifuge test is presented that tracks the earth pressures around a stiff retaining wall,
propped at the top, during in-flight excavation in dry sand. The test featured the first use in a …

This study focuses on development of an earth pressure cell to identify the effective soil
pressure and pore water pressure in a single degree of freedom sensor system. A strain …

ABSTRACT NASA is soon to send astronauts to explore the Moon near the lunar South
Pole, which is predominantly composed of lunar highlands regolith. Understanding the lunar …
