Local Stiffness Assessment of Geogrid-Stabilized Unbound Aggregates in a Large-Scale Testbed
Applied Sciences, 2023 This paper integrates and extends an earlier article presented at the 20th International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering. The generation of a stiffened zone in the proximity of a geogrid is one of the primary mechanisms of ...

Dynamic Properties of Calcareous Sands from Urban Areas of Abu Dhabi
Applied Sciences, 2022 Abu Dhabi (ABD) has recently developed its national building code that mandates dynamic analysis of large structures to seismic loadings. Large strain dynamic properties such as shear modulus (G) and damping ratio (D) of local undisturbed calcareous ...

A note on influence of stress anisotropy on the Poisson's ratio of dry sand
Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2017 In this study, extender and bender element tests were conducted investigating the small-strain Poisson's ratio of variable sands, with a focus on the effect of stress anisotropy in order to quantify the sensitivity of Poisson's ratio to the applied ...

Sandy Soils Stabilization Using Calcite Microbial Deposition [PDF]
مدلسازی پیشرفته در مهندسی عمرانToday, the need to implement construction projects in the vicinity of rivers and sea coasts is inevitable. On the other hand, the soils of these areas generally have problems such as low bearing capacity or prone to liquefaction.

Evaluating the maximum shear modulus (G0) for different bender-soil coupling loads [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 The current paper aims to test the effects of vertical loads on the maximum shear modulus (G0). The tests were undertaken with unsaturated soils in unconfined conditions.

An Approach for Description of Elastic Parameters of Cross-Anisotropic Saturated Soils [PDF]
Eurasian Journal of Science and Engineering, 2018 The processes of deposition and consolidation in natural soils or compaction in fill materials will typically produce soils that are initially cross-anisotropic (also known as transversely isotropic or orthotropic) in terms of both small strain elastic ...

Quality of reconstituted tailings samples based on their mechanical response [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesWith a growing global population and greater environmental awareness modern societies inevitably need more mineral resources. Thus, an increase in mining activity is expected through the reactivation of old mines and/or the licensing of new explorations.
