Seepage erosion is a common yet concealed internal degradation process in saturated soils under sustained seepage, and its mechanical consequences strongly depend on the soil grading because particle migration alters the load-bearing skeleton in fundamentally different ways. Seepage erosion driven by internal hydraul...
The use of fine-grained soils as backfill in geosynthetic-reinforced soil walls has increased worldwide, despite concerns regarding climate-induced intense rainfalls. This study investigates the hydraulic–mechanical behaviour of a large-scale segmental reinforced soil wall constructed with a fine- grained backfill and...
To explore the mechanism of uneven settlement of the cross-river subway under bidirectional cyclic load after the artificial ground freezing method, this paper analyzes the pore pressure and stiffness of saturated soft clay in Hangzhou. A dynamic triaxial apparatus was used to conduct cyclic loading tests on the reshap...
Deep, long tunnels are often associated with long-term stable seepage pressure, which is easily induced by repeated loads during tunnel construction, resulting in water and mud inrush accidents. To explore the fracture failure mechanism of the rock mass water-inrush disaster process under the influence of constructio...
Under extreme arid conditions, soil loses moisture and forms cracks, which significantly affect their mechanical and hydraulic properties (e.g., shear strength, soil structure, and hydraulic behavior). Natural soils commonly contain gravels. However, research on the effects of gravels on moisture evaporation and desicc...
