Effect of Specimens’ Height to Diameter Ratio on Unconfined Compressive Strength of Cohesive Soil
Studia Geotechnica et Mechanica, 2023 The undrained shear strength (Su) and cohesion (Cu) of cohesive soils are frequently determined using an unconfined compression test. However, the test results are heavily dependent on specimen size.

Improving safety of runway overrun through the correct numerical evaluation of rutting in Cleared and Graded Areas [PDF]
, 2014 Aircraft overrun is potentially very dangerous to human life. Statistics show that overrun is mainly due to human errors causing loss of control in wheel alignment, high approach speed, and long touchdown.

Overconsolidation Ratio Determination of Cohesive Soil [PDF]
Proceedings of 13th Baltic Sea Geotechnical Conference, 2016 In order to evaluate overconsolidation ratio (OCR) of soil, the necessity to restore them as much as possible to in situ conditions appears, because sometimes when it is not taken into account, mistakes could be made while interpreting mechanical – strength properties of the soil.

Application of discontinuity layout optimization to plane plasticity problems [PDF]
, 2007 A new and potentially widely applicable numerical analysis procedure for continuum mechanics problems is described. The procedure is used here to determine the critical layout of discontinuities and associated upper-bound limit load for plane plasticity ...

Behavior of Cohesive Soil Reinforced by Polypropylene Fiber
Engineering and Technology Journal, 2020 For any land-based structure, the foundation is very important and has to be strong to support the entire structure. In order for the foundation to be strong, the soil underneath it plays a very critical role.

Investigation into the effect of uncertainty of CPT-based soil type estimation on the accuracy of CPT-based pile bearing capacity analysis [PDF]
, 2016 Cone Penetration Test (CPT or CPTu) is commonly used for estimating soil types and also for the geotechnical design of pile foundation. However, the level of agreement between the CPT-based soil types and the traditional identification of soil types ...
