Stress–strain Behaviour of Bio-desaturated Sand Under Undrained Monotonic and Cyclic Loading
Author(s) Kangda Wang* Jian Chu† Shifan Wu‡ Jia He§ Abstract Microbial (or bio-) desaturation is a new method for mitigation of the liquefaction hazard of sand. In this paper, a series of monotonic and cyclic triaxial tests was performed on bio-desaturated sand...

Mechanical Behaviour of Rock Samples Containing Multiple Parallel Joints Euring shearing
Author(s) Authors: N. Huang*† G. Han‡ R. Liu‡§ Y. Jiang§ Abstract This study experimentally investigated the influence of number of joints on the mechanical behaviour of multi-joint samples during shearing under constant normal stiffness (CNS) boundary...
Geotechnical Properties of a New Transparent Clay
Author(s) Gangqiang Kong ; Yang Zhou, Ph.D ; Qing Yang ; Chengqing Wang Abstract This paper presents a study of the mechanical properties of a synthetic transparent clay to be used in physical geotechnical models. The manufacturing processes of a synthetic...
Numerical Simulation and Performance Assessment of Seepage Control Effect on the Fractured Surrounding Rock of the Wunonglong Underground Powerhouse
Author(s) Lifeng Wen ; Yanlong Li ; and Junrui Chai Abstract Seepage control is a key technical problem in large-scale underground cavern engineering, and seepage analysis plays an important role in realizing engineering optimization design and safety. The...
