The Axes of Resilience: The Case of the Earthquakes of September 7 and 19, 2017 in Mexico_ Open Journal of Civil Engineering Crimson Publishers The Axes of Resilience: The Case of the Earthquakes of September 7 and 19, 2017 in Mexico by Joel F Audefroy in Open Journal of Civil Engineering The year 2017 was marked by a series of hydrometeorological and geological events of different sizes that hit Mexico in different parts. The first event was the storm Lydia, on September 1, which left seven deaths, damage to communication routes, urban infrastructure, hospital, housing, drinking water, drainage, electricity, cell phone and more than 6,000 evacuated to temporary shelters. The second event was Hurricane Katia, on September 8 that entered 20 kilometres from Tecolutla, Veracruz. It reached category 2 (195km/h) and when it touched the ground it weakened to category 1. It caused intense rains in 11 entities with more than 250mm. More than 4000 people were evacuated from the States of...

Shear Strength Behavior for Unsoaked and Soaked Multistage Triaxial Drained Test _ Crimson Publishers Shear Strength Behavior for Unsoaked and Soaked Multistage Triaxial Drained Test by Abdul Samad AR*, NorbayaS, Juhaizad A, Hazwani Md Zain and Ikmal FR in Advancements in Civil Engineering & Technology To determine the mode of slope failures is very difficult especially when using the conventional slope stability method which applies the linear type of strength variation with respect to effective stress and suction. These studies conducted to fulfil the real failure mechanism of slope failure which acquired the analysis of shear strength behaviour incorporatecurve-linear relative to effective stress and non-linear relative to suction. Three undisturbed samples were collected at Precinct 9, Putrajaya at different depth to determine the multistage triaxial drained test with unsoaked, soaked for 7 days and soaked for 14 days sample.Finding shows that from the test, there are a...
