In engineering practice, the shear strength of finer grained materials (such as earthfill and tailings) are often characterized through field and laboratory testing. Yet for coarse-grained materials ...

The offset shear strength is the shear stress endured by a material at the intersection of the shear stress versus the engineering shear strain curve, with a line parallel to a defined modulus and ...

A new study in Scientific Reports introduces an innovative mathematical model for describing how water enters and moves ...

The instructional geotechnical laboratory is used to conduct laboratory sessions that are part of the coursework for undergraduate classes. The lab consists of five triaxial cell setups which can be ...
