...K. Watanabe; A. Zafar; M. Tomita; K. Nishikouri There has been serious damage to embankments on liquefied ground due to large earthquakes. To understand such damage process, two-dimensional shaking table model tests have been usually performed, in both gravitational and centrifugal fields...

...Z. Yu; O. O. Eminue; R. Stirling; C. Davie; S. Glendinning This paper presents a desiccation crack monitoring campaign conducted on a full-scale, vegetated infrastructure embankment subjected to one-year of seasonally variable weather. The field survey involved direct measurement of naturally...

...) as climate boundaries, to investigate the de-coupled influence of temperature and RH as atmospheric boundaries on a clay embankment. Temperature changes are imposed through convection cycles and radiation, while vapour diffusion is employed for RH cycles. Generally, it is found that temperature cycles induce...
