When performing shallow tunnel construction, settlements on the ground surface often cannot be prevented. Anticipating these surface displacements is only possible with profound knowledge of the constitutive parameters of the surrounding soil. Perfor

This paper is an extension of previous work which characterises soil behaviours using the grading entropy diagram. The present work looks at the piping process in granular soils, by considering some new data from flood-protection dikes. The piping pr

Gypseous soils are usually stiff when they are dry especially because of the cementation of soil particles by gypsum, but great loss in strength and sudden increase in compressibility occur when these soils are fully or partially saturated. The disso

The unsaturated soils are difficult to consider within the framework of classical (saturated) soil mechanics. In general, the unsaturated soil is stiffer than the saturated one (hardening), so the location and slope of normal consolidated line (NCL)

Total suction is the sum of the matric and the osmotic suction of the soil. Various methods are used to measure the total suction of the soil. One of the methods is the chilled–mirror hygrometer technique. The chilled-mirror device employs a dew-po

This laboratory investigation has been conducted to elucidate how the fines fraction affects the undrained residual shear strength and liquefaction potential of sand-silt mixtures (Algeria). A series of monotonic and cyclic undrained triaxial tests w

To better understand the biology of extinct animals, experimentation with extant animals and innovative numerical approaches have grown in recent years. This research project uses principles of soil mechanics and a neoichnological field experiment wi

Collapsible soils present significant geotechnical and structural engineering challenges worldwide. They can be found in arid or semi-arid regions and are directly affected by the multi-step wetting procedure due to the reduction of soil suction. The

Collapsible soils are almost found in unsaturated states and involved significant engineering problems. Geotechnical challenges of such soils are represented by the hydro-mechanical behaviour during wetting–drying cycles due to the humidity and cli

The paper combines experimental and numerical analyses to study the relation between small strain stiffness and micro-structure of an idealized granular material under isotropic and anisotropic stress conditions. Results from the resonant column devi
