Optimizing modified triaxial testing for small strain zone using local displacement transducers and bender element for cement-treated soft soil [PDF]
The settlement behavior is a common problem on the railway structure that can be optimized by applying cement-treated soil as ground restoration. However, the application of a high cement mixing content needs a proper estimation that can be achieved by ...
