• Observations and Nomenclature of Shear Bands
  Shear bands were observed in the granular layers of deformed specimens composed of alternating layers of granular and cohesive materials. Several purely granular specimens were prepared and deformed in a specially designed apparatus in order to observe shear band formation. During deformation, visible shear bands could be seen forming in the specimens, as documented in the included digitized video.

• Shear Strength of Gravel and Rockfill Measured in Triaxial and Prismatic Wedge Shear Tests
  The prismatic wedge shear test (priswest) is a relatively new technique for measuring the shear strength of gravels and gravelly clays using a portable frame and a right prismatic box (test mould) consisting of two identical halves...

• Soil Mechanics Research in Space
  While scientists have experimented with soil mechanics for decades, some aspects remain out of reach on Earth. The behavior of soils under low-confining pressures, where the soil acts like a liquid, is difficult to study under 1-g conditions on Earth. Under the low-g conditions of space, a new range of test conditions exist, including conditions like those experienced by some soils during an earthquake.
