Abstract:
Cracking in soils that are undergoing drying is controlled by soil suctions and by soil properties such as compression modulus, Poisson's ratio, shear strength, tensile strength, and specific surface energy. The paper reviews the occurrence and morphology of cracks in dry-climate regions of Australia and Canada. After reviewing the behaviour of unsaturated soils and the mechanics of cracking, solutions are developed based on (i) elasticity theory, (ii) the transition between tensile and shear failure, and (iii) linear elastic fracture mechanics. The solutions are compared and related to crack

Abstract:
To find the effects of pedoturbation on soil erosion of lands for agriculture and forestry in Menglianggu watershed of Linyi city from soil mechanics, shear strengths of 3 typical land uses (6 different soils) which are undisturbed and remolded respectively were measured by direct shear apparatus. Effects of particle size and binding materials on shear strength were analyzed by comparing shear properties of undisturbed and remolded soils with the same dry density, water content and vertical loads. The results show that all the angle of internal friction ( ) and most of soil cohesion ( ) of und

Abstract:
Compacted soils constitute most engineering projects such as earth dams, embankments, pavements, and engineered slopes because of their high shear strength and low compressibility. The shear strength of compacted soils is a key soil parameter in the design of earth structures but it is seldom determined correctly due to their unsaturated state. The shear strength of compacted soils can be better evaluated under the framework of unsaturated soil mechanics. Saturated and unsaturated tests were conducted on compacted specimens using conventional direct shear apparatus under constant water content

Abstract:
Vegetated soil’s shear strength has been usually assessed through direct shear tests and under triaxial compression stress paths while less is known about its behaviour under tensile stress. Tensile strength and shrinkage-induced cracking play a crucial role in the hydro-mechanical response of earth structures exposed to drying/wetting cycles. For this purpose, a new device for direct tensile tests has been designed and used to let plants grow in compacted soil samples. The equipment consists of two cylindrical moulds connected to each other by a soil bridge in which failure upon pulling is in

Abstract:
The factors that determine the geotechnical behavior of soils are mainly their composition, the size of their grains and their moisture content. The design of a soil structure or foundation project must ensure the shear adequacy of the soil in all phases of construction and throughout the life of the project. However, the shear strength, in general, of the soil is not "constant" but depends on key external factors such as the prehistory of loads, the time and succession of load states, the overpressure of the pore water as well as other factors such as relative density, or any preload, the pre

AbstractSubmarine slope failures pose a direct threat to seafloor installations and coastal communities. Here, we evaluate the influence of free gas on the soil's shear strength and submarine slope failures in areas with gassy soils based on an extensive literature review. We identify two potential destabilization mechanisms: gas bubbles in the pore space lead to a reduced shear strength of the soil and/or gas induces excess pore pressures that consequently reduce the effective stress in the soil. Our evaluation of the reported mechanical and hydraulic behaviour of gassy sediments indicates th
