Investigation into the effect of uncertainty of CPT-based soil type estimation on the accuracy of CPT-based pile bearing capacity analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Thermal properties of Malaysian cohesive soils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The thermal properties of soils surrounding energy piles are required for the efficient and optimal design of shallow geothermal energy pile systems. In this study, the thermal conductivity, thermal resistivity and volumetric specific heat of two types ...

Coesão e resistência ao cisalhamento relacionadas a atributos físicos e químicos de um Latossolo Amarelo de tabuleiro costeiro Cohesion and shear strength as related to physical and chemical properties of a Yellow Latosol of coastal plain

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2007
Os solos coesos de tabuleiros costeiros têm como característica peculiar horizontes minerais subsuperficiais, que apresentam consistência friável quando úmidos, porém, quando secos, têm consistência dura, muito dura ou extremamente dura.

Studies on soil cohesion (Part 1) theory of cohesion in ideal soil [PDF]

open access: yesSoil and Plant Food, 1956
Abstract 1. Historical. Theory of an ideal soil due to capillary films was first studied by W. B. Haines (1925),1) and this was corrected and developed by R. A. Fisher (1926). 2)

Using small-angle X-ray scattering to investigate the compaction behaviour of a granulated clay [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The compaction behaviour of a commercial granulated clay (magnesium aluminium smectite, gMgSm) was investigated using macroscopic pressure-density measurements, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray microtomography (XμT) and ...

The Effect of Soil Type and Moisture Content on Head Impacts on Natural Grass Athletic Fields

open access: yesProceedings, 2018
Studies are warranted to evaluate head injury criterion (HIC) on athletic fields to determine baseline numbers and compare those findings to current critical thresholds for impact attenuation.

Modelling the brightness increase signature due to asteroid collisions

open access: yes, 2015
We have developed a model to predict the post-collision brightness increase of sub-catastrophic collisions between asteroids and to evaluate the likelihood of a survey detecting these events.

Evolution and monitoring of karst ground collapse in the Zhifang-Miaoshan paleo-clay area of Wuhan

open access: yesCarsologica Sinica, 2023
This study is aimed at finding out the disaster mechanism of karst ground collapse in the Zhifang-Miaoshan paleo-clay area of Wuhan and selecting appropriate methods for the monitoring and early warning, so as to effectively reduce the harm caused by ...

Collapsing granular suspensions

open access: yes, 2009
A 2D contact dynamics model is proposed as a microscopic description of a collapsing suspension/soil to capture the essential physical processes underlying the dynamics of generation and collapse of the system.

Construction and testing of self-drilled soil nails [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Current standards and best practice guidance recognise that testing of self-drilled hollow bar soil nails can be problematic as conventional packers and debonded lengths cannot be constructed.
