Understanding the relationship between plasticity of muddy soil and earth pressure can be crucial to maintaining tunnel stability and predicting ground behavior during earth pressure balance (EPB) ...

Luna’s research interests lie in the dynamic response of soils and liquefaction, geographic information systems in civil engineering, and advances in foundation and earthquake engineering. Wang, S., ...

This Montana Department of Transportation–sponsored Ph.D. research investigates the lateral load response of piles in low- to high-plasticity silt–clay mixtures representative of Montana soils using ...

Infrastructures often suffer severe damage due to geotechnical hazards of both natural kinds such as floods or earthquakes and man-made ones like underground construction work and excavations. The ...
