The non-coaxiality of the directions of principal stresses and principal plastic strain rates in granular soils under stress rotations has long been observed and recognized in soil tests using both ...

Internal erosion and seepage flow represent critical processes in the evolution of granular soils, with direct implications for the stability of natural and engineered structures such as embankment ...

Anchors play a critical role in civil and offshore engineering by providing fixation and stability to structures subject to uplift and lateral forces. In granular soils, the interaction between the ...

The Florida Entomologist, Vol. 51, No. 3 (Sep., 1968), pp. 143-150 (8 pages) In experiments conducted out of doors, most of the toxic residue from granular phorate in the soil had disappeared in the ...

QUESTION -- We live in an 83-year-old, two-storey home in River Heights and before the snow flew this past winter, there was approximately a four-inch gap/space between my foundation and the soil on ...

The millions of acres scorched by wildfires and left susceptible to mud slides could be shored up by spreading inexpensive granules that a lawn care entrepreneur says will keep soil in place when the ...

The geotechnics team has an international reputation in the understanding of fundamentals of soil behaviour. This has been achieved through research investigations spanning across length scales, from ...
