Author(s)  Luca Flessati,  Pietro Marveggio, Claudio di Prisco, and Domenico De Sarno   Abstract Seismic-induced liquefaction is one of the main hazards for pipelines buried in saturated granular materials. When soil is partially or completely fluidized, a...

Author(s) Surabhi Jain   Abstract Biocementation or microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) is a feasible biochemical process in enhancing the behavior of geomaterial, that is, soil strengthening and/or remediation. This biochemical process...

Author(s) Mohammad Hossein Kadkhodaei Ebrahim Ghasemi Saeed Mahdavi   Abstract Squeezing is a well-known geotechnical phenomenon in the excavation of underground spaces, especially tunnels. Squeezing occurs under different geotechnical conditions in weak rock...

Author(s) Wenjie Wang Longzhe, Chaoshui Xu, Chao Liu, Hao Wang and Jingting   Abstract Due to good corrosion resistance and high tensile strength, glass fiber–reinforced plastic (GFRP) bolts are widely used in mining operations. However, GFRP bolts are...

Author(s) Daniela Dominica Porcino, PhD Giuseppe Tomasello, PhD Francesco Mauriello, PhD Angela Malara, PhD   Abstract This paper presents the environmental and geotechnical characterisation of new synthetic lightweight aggregates (SLAs) composed of reused...

Author(s) Jianye Wang, PhD Paul N. Hughes, MSc, PhD Charles E. Augarde, BSc, MSc, DPhil, CEng, FICE   Abstract Desiccation cracking in clay soils is a combined mechanical and hydraulic problem and such soils can be improved by various methods including...

Author(s) Haoyuan Liu* Amir M. Kaynia†   Abstract Optimised design is essential to reduce the cost of monopiles for offshore wind turbines. For this purpose, an in-depth understanding of the behaviour of monopile–soil interaction is required. As more wind farms...

Author(s) Ali R. Estabragh Amir Kazemi Akbar A. Javadi Mohammad Moghadas   Abstract In this research study the effects of calcium and magnesium ions on stabilisation of a clay soil were studied by conducting a set of laboratory tests. A special apparatus was...

Author(s) Qian Hu*† Fei Han†‡ Monica Prezzi† Rodrigo Salgado† Minghua Zhao*   Abstract Due to the increasing demand for renewable clean energy, there has been rapid growth in the development of offshore wind energy resources in recent years. The majority of...
