Sleeper end resistance of ballasted railway tracks [PDF]
This paper describes model tests used to investigate how ballast shoulder width and height contribute to a railway sleeper’s resistance to lateral movement for a range of shoulder widths and heights.

Behaviour of saturated sand under cyclic loading: Model approach with experimental validation [PDF]
This study presents a comparison between triaxial test results and constitutive model simulations for saturated sand subjected to a wide range of stress, relative density and both monotonic and cyclic loadings.

An appraisal of end conditions in advanced monotonic and cyclic triaxial testing on a range of geomaterials [PDF]
Compressing samples between rigid platens, as in triaxial testing, induce non-uniform specimen stress, strain and pore water distributions. Although well recognised historically, the effects of such platen restraints are often disregarded or overlooked ...

Removal of the membrane penetration error during evaluation of triaxial data
Most triaxial tests are fraught with substantial membrane penetration errors. A simple correction procedure for data obtained from various tests is proposed. In particular, a correction of the undrained cyclic stress paths is presented in detail.

Indirect verification of suction in cyclic UCS tests of a chemically stabilized soil [PDF]
The present study aims to indirectly evaluate the occurrence of suction and its effects in laboratory tests of a chemically stabilized soft soil. To achieve these goals, a series of unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and triaxial tests were performed,

Effects of cyclic loading on lateral bearing capacity of single pile in silty seabed
Under larger wave loading, the bearing capacity of marine single pile foundation will be reduced, even instability occurs. A series of undrained shear triaxial tests on the remolded marine silt in Hangzhou Bay are carried out by means of the GDS triaxial

Estimation of strain-dependent dynamic soil properties, e.g. the shear modulus and damping ratio, along with the liquefaction potential parameters, is extremely important for the assessment and analysis of almost all geotechnical problems involving ...
