To study the differences in the mechanical properties and the strength variation of the
expansive slurry-fractured rock mass composites (ESFC) with different slurry thicknesses …

Abstract The Jammu-Srinagar National Highway is the critical road connection between
Kashmir valley and the rest of India. It passes through extremely steep slopes and high …

Acid—alkali pollution can lead to problems related to surrounding conditions, the health of
the earth, and changes in soil physical–mechanical properties and microstructure. However …

A permanent collapsing gully, locally called Benggang, formed on slopes with deep granite
red soil and is a type of unique gully erosion widely prevalent in southern China. Three …

In geotechnical engineering applications, it is very important to obtain the undrained shear
strength of remolded soils accurately and reliably. This study aims to obtain a trustworthy …

Gas hydrate resources are abundant in the South China Sea (SCS), primarily occurring in
clayey-silty reservoirs. However, the process of natural gas hydrate (NGH) extraction can …

Whereas loess-mudstone landslides are widely distributed and frequently occurred at the
loess Plateau, this type of landslides is hard to detect due to its particularity, and easily …

Landslide hazards frequently occur in the Chinese Loess Plateau every year, causing
devastating casualties, damage to engineering structures, and reduction in land resources …

Critical and residual states are key soil conditions relevant to slope stability. Evaluating the
available shear strength in relation to these conditions is crucial for reliable stability …

Residual shear strength of soils is an important soil parameter for assessing the stability of
landslides. To investigate the effect of the shear rate on the residual shear strength of loessic …
