Assessment Of Soil-water Retention Properties Of Lime And Cement Treated Clays
Thudi, Harshavardhan Reddy (Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-08-23)The soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) of unsaturated soils has considerable importance in the analysis of geotechnical engineering problems involving soils that remain under partially saturated conditions throughout ... -
Assessment Of Stress/volume-controlled Soil-water Retention Properties Of Unsaturated Sandy Soils.
Ayalew, Hailu (Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-10-22)The main objectives of this work are to determine the effect of net normal stress and volume change on the soil-water retention properties of silty sand and clayey sand soils under stressed/volume-controlled conditions; ... -
Characterization Of Cemented And Fiber-reinforced RAP Aggregate Materials For Base/ Sub-base Applications
Ordonez, Carlos A (Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-08-23)The engineering product known as RAP is a bonded base and sub-base material produced by the process of blending crushed recycled construction and demolition waste and debris to specified gradation requirements, and by ... -
Development Of A Suction-controlled Resonant Column Apparatus With Self-contained Bender Elements
Suescun-Florez, Eduardo Alfonso (Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-07-19)Small-strain soil stiffness properties such as shear modulus, shear wave velocity, and material damping, are key subsoil parameters for an adequate analysis and design of unsaturated earth structures subject to static and ... -
Dynamic Properties Of Compacted Soils Using Resonant Column With Self-contained Bender Elements
Mohammad, Roshnara (Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2008-08-08)A comprehensive series of resonant column and bender elements tests were simultaneously performed in the developed RC/BE apparatus. RC/BE tests were conducted on compacted specimens of poorly graded sand (SP) and high ... -
Effect Of Stress And Suction Histories Dynamic Properties Of Statically Compacted Silty Sand
Douglas, William Allan (Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-07-25)This paper is devoted to the analysis of the experimental study whose intent is to find the effect of the stress/suction history on the dynamic properties of silty sand subjected to small- to mid-strains. The practical ... -
Effect Of Suction On Dynamic Properties Of Unsaturated Soils At Mid- To High-shear Strain Amplitudes
Pino Bravo, Alejandro Hernan (Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-10-22)This paper presents the results from an experimental study that has been designed to assess the effect of the suction and net mean stress on the dynamic properties of poorly graded sand with silt subjected to small- to ... -
General Response Of Kneading-compacted Unsaturated Silty Sand Under Drained And Undrained True Triaxial Testing
Pyo, Sangchul (Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-08-23)A comprehensive series of 36 drained and 36 undrained true triaxial tests was accomplished to investigate the stress-strain-strength behaviour of kneading-compacted unsaturated silty sand (SP-SM) under multi-axial stress ... -
Performance And Check-out Verification Testing Of A New True Triaxial Apparatus Using Partially Saturated Silty Sand
Park, Jae Hyun (Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-08-23)A stress-controlled, flexible boundary, true triaxial (cubical) testing apparatus has been developed to test 3-inch cubical specimen of partially saturated soil under different moisture contents and for a wide range of ... -
Performance of Lime- and Cement- based Treatments of Sulfate-rich Soil via RC Testing
Asghariastaneh, Azadeh (2017-09-20)Chemical treatment of expansive sulfate-rich soils, particularly lime- and cement-based methods, had been rather popular due to their relatively low cost and ready availability. However, over the last few decades, extensively ...
