Peat soils represent a unique class of organic deposits characterised by high water content, low shear strength and pronounced compressibility. These materials are formed from the partial ...

In engineering practice, the shear strength of finer grained materials (such as earthfill and tailings) are often characterized through field and laboratory testing. Yet for coarse-grained materials ...

The instructional geotechnical laboratory is used to conduct laboratory sessions that are part of the coursework for undergraduate classes. The lab consists of five triaxial cell setups which can be ...

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., ...
