Abstract: Fracture mechanics analysis of shear band propagation requires knowledge of the material’s shear fracture energy and its related properties such as the characteristic slip displacement. Yet these properties of stiff clays and shales have not… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract When extracting stiff clays at a certain depth, negative water pressure/suction builds up inside the samples. If the generated suction is high enough to desaturate the largest pores, the soil sample will be desaturated.… read more here.
