Sandy Soils Stabilization Using Calcite Microbial Deposition [PDF]
Today, 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.

Measurement of shear modulus using bender elements and resonant-column [PDF]
In recent times, new demands in geotechnical engineering, mainly in transportation geotechnics, require the use of advanced characterization techniques in order to accurately assess soil stiffness parameters.

An Approach for Description of Elastic Parameters of Cross-Anisotropic Saturated Soils [PDF]
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 ...

Field and laboratory measurements of shear wave velocity in unsaturated soils [PDF]
Shear wave velocity measurements in soil are important for assigning site soil profiles to seismic site classes and for calculating other dynamic soil properties.

Correlation between shear wave velocity and effective confining pressure using cyclic triaxial testing apparatus [PDF]
The 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes struck Kumamoto and Ōita regions and caused several devastating liquefaction induced damages. The primary damage was due to the extreme ground shaking of the foreshock and main shock sequence.

Quality of reconstituted tailings samples based on their mechanical response [PDF]
With 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.

Characteristics of elastic waves passing through a flowable fill at early age [PDF]
Elastic waves obtained from transducers are widely used to monitor the strength and integrity of cementitious materials. A pair of bender elements (BEs) and piezo disk elements (PDEs) embedded in a cuboid mould are applied to monitor elastic waves ...

Influence of grain size distribution on dynamic shear modulus of sands
The paper presents the results of laboratory tests, that verify the correlation between the grain-size characteristics of non-cohesive soils and the value of the dynamic shear modulus.
