...Didier Marot; Bikram Oli; Fateh Bendahmane; Rachel Gelet; Philippe Leroy ABSTRACT Among the four dominant mechanisms of internal erosion, suffusion appears as one of the most complex. It is indeed the result of the combination of three processes: dislodgement of fine particles, transport of them...

...Rui Chen; Liang-Liang Zhang; Gang Deng; Zhong-Kui Chen; Lei-Lei Liu; Zhi-Le Zhou; Zhi-Yuan Luo ABSTRACT Seepage-induced suffusion involves the migration of fine particles within a soil matrix. Seepage flow is affected by the soil permeability anisotropy of anisotropic soil fabric; however...

...Didier Marot; Dinh Minh Tran; Fateh Bendahmane; Van Thao Le Suffusion is a selective erosion of fine particles within the matrix of coarse soil particles under the effect of seepage flow. Suffusion can induce important modifications in the hydraulic and mechanical characteristics of the soil...

...Shang-Xin Feng; Jun-Rui Chai; Zeng-Guang Xu; Yuan Qin; Yan-Long Li Test results on the suffusion of sand-rock mixtures (SRMs) in one-dimensional laboratory seepage tests are reported with details regarding the experimental setup and procedures. The nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) systems were...

...H. Rönnqvist; P. Viklander; S. Knutsson The main objectives of this study were to determine the susceptibility to suffusion of widely graded, non-plastic glacial till; to identify potential factors influencing susceptibility; and conversely, to determine grading characteristics that potentially...

... of volume change during multistage seepage flow. Tests were reported on gradations of glass beads. Suffusion was observed as a seepage-induced increase in hydraulic conductivity, in the absence of substantial volumetric and axial strains, indicating particle migration. In contrast, suffosion was observed...

...Ming Xiao; Nathan Shwiyhat This paper reports the measured effects of suffusion, a type of internal erosion, on the physical and geo-mechanical properties of soils including permeability, volume change, compressive strength, and soil grains gradation. A poorly graded river sand with the addition...
