An improved three-dimensional (3D) displacement measuring system that uses the particle
image velocimetry (PIV) technique was developed to measure the full 3D displacement …

The paper describes a new transparent granular soil that can be used for laboratory
geotechnical modeling purposes. The transparent soil consists of fused quartz particles in …

In geotechnical engineering, the transparent soil (also called transparent media) technique
is an effective tool for conducting experimental tests and investigating the displacement …

Transparent soils have evolved in the past two decades as a useful tool for the physical
modeling of soil-structure interaction mechanisms, saturated-unsaturated hydraulic …

A small-scale physical modelling method was developed to study the movement of clay
during pile installation. The clay was simulated using a mixture of amorphous silica and …

Ground movements induced by shallow tunnels affect the safety of nearby underground and
aboveground structures. Therefore, the reliable prediction of these movements is important …

The fundamental premise of this research is that transparent synthetic materials with
geotechnical properties similar to natural soils can be used in model tests to study three …

This paper presents the geotechnical properties of a new family of synthetic transparent soils
made of fused quartz, saturated with a matched refractive index water-based sucrose …

The modelling capacity of transparent soil was investigated by comparing boundary soil
displacement fields under a model footing in a transparent soil model with those from a …

Cet article discute des propriétés géotechniques de deux familles de silices transparentes
qui peuvent être utilisées pour modéliser l'interaction de la structure du sol et les problèmes …
