Stability analysis of unsaturated soil slope during rainfall infiltration using coupled liquid-gas-solid three-phase model
Abstract Generally, most soil slope failures are induced by rainfall infiltration, a process that involves interactions between the liquid phase, gas phase, and solid skeleton in an unsaturated soil slope. In this study, a loosely coupled...

Numerical stress-deformation analysis of a cut-off wall in clay-core rockfill dam on thick overburden
Abstract The cut-off wall in a clay-core rockfill dam built on a thick overburden layer is subjected to a large compressive pressure under the action of the loads such as the dead weight of both the dam and the overburden layer, the frictional force ...

Estimation of Zero Shear Viscosity Versus Rutting Resistance Parameters of Asphalt Concrete
Abstract The article presents test results of the correlation of zero shear viscosity (ηo) and the G*/sinδ parameter with rutting parameters WTSAIR and PRDAIR. The tests were conducted on asphalt concrete AC11S containing synthetic wax in the range...

Road fuel taxes in Europe: Do they internalize road transport externalities?
Abstract All countries in Europe have road fuel taxes and these account for roughly half of the net fuel price. We compare current road fuel taxes and corrective taxes, estimated on the basis of negative externalities from road transport for 22...
