The swelling-shrinkage behavior of expansive soils under climate changes will cause the crack development, which can be destructive of expansive soil slopes. This study investigated the effect of drying/wetting cycles on the stability of an expansive soi...

Granite residual soil (GRS) exhibits favorable engineering properties in its natural state. However, a hot and rainy climate, combined with vibrations generated during mechanical construction, can cause a notable decrease in its strength. In this study, ...

The impoundment of the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) has greatly altered the hydrological regime and thus formed a distinctive riparian zone with anti-seasonal inundation and exposure, which may affect the soil aggregate properties in this riparian zone. ...

Seawater mixed (SW) concrete lessens the freshwater (FW) demand and eases the stress on the already depleting FW resources. The use of SW concrete is a sustainable solution that mitigates the environmental impact of concrete production, especially in coa...

Representative elementary volume (REV) is required for representative measurements of soil physical properties. However, questions may arise whether REV depends on how the soil structure is modified or whether processes in the soil affect REV. Here, we e...

Honeycomb weathering is a common phenomenon found on various rock surfaces all around the world. However, honeycomb formation mechanisms are still poorly understood. In this study, we propose a model describing moisture transport within the sandstone and...

The backfilling of lime soil in ultra-deep and ultra-narrow foundation trenches is a difficult construction link, and ordinary-cemented soil has drawbacks, including poor strength, impermeability, and frost resistance. To solve these problems, fly ash (F...

A phenomenon causing instability of soil structure and associated hydraulic properties in recently tilled soils is aggregate fragmentation induced by wetting and drying cycles. We analyzed data from three experiments in Puerto Rico, the UK and China meas...
