The selection of Small-Strain Stiffness Hardening Soil (HSS) model parameters for coastal soft clays remains insufficiently established. This study aimed to determine HSS model parameters for coastal soft clays and evaluate their applicability in finite element analysis. Undisturbed soil samples from three representa...
The strength properties, especially the strain-softening behavior, of marine sediments are critically important for the design of subsea structures. This study conducted laboratory tests on undisturbed marine samples collected from the East China Sea, primarily aiming to investigate the evolution of undrained shear s...
Soft clay layers in the Northern Nile Delta pose significant geotechnical challenges due to low shear strength, high compressibility, and susceptibility to settlement. This study implements a section of a canal embankment in the field using Deep Soil Mixing (DSM) with a cement content of 165 kg/m3 and aims to evaluate...
In densely populated urban environments, deep excavations in soft ground present critical geotechnical challenges due to high groundwater table and weak cohesive soils. Diaphragm walls supported by struts or tieback anchors are frequently used to stabilize such excavations, yet predicting deformation behavior remains c...
Geothermal energy piles (GEPs) synergistically integrate structural load-bearing with subsurface heat exchange, yet their deployment in marine soft clay prevalent along China’s eastern coast introduces complex thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) challenges. Although the Modified Cam-Clay (MCC) model is extensively employed f...
Xinjiang’s inland arid climate has led to widespread saline–alkali soils. Along with frequent strong earthquakes, they pose challenges to foundation and infrastructure construction. So, understanding the small-strain dynamic properties of saline–alkali soils is of scientifical and engineering significance. This study u...
