Compressibility of Contaminated Fine-Grained Soils

Geotechnical Testing Journal, 1994
Abstract An experimental study was performed to investigate factors that control the compression index of contaminated soils and to evaluate the applicability of the correlations proposed by Skempton (1944) and Arulanandan et al. (1983) for contaminated soils.

Characterization of Compacted Fine-Grained Soils

2020
Compaction control is the most significant factor affecting the behaviour of earthwork projects constructed with compacted fine-grained soils. The durability and stability of a structure are related to the achievement of proper soil compaction. Correlating engineering properties with index properties have assumed greater significance in the field of ...

Stiffness of fine-grained soil at very small strains

Géotechnique, 1995
The stiffness of soil at very small strain Go is a useful parameter for characterizing the non-linear stress–strain behaviour of soil for monotonic loading and it is required for analyses of the dynamic and small strain cyclic loading of soils. Tests were carried out on fine-grained soils in a hydraulic triaxial cell fitted with bender elements and ...

The Permeability of Fine-Grained Soils

1955
The permeability of a soil is one of its most fundamental and important properties. It enters into nearly all seepage, settlement, and stability problems confronting the soil engineer. The amount of leakage through and under dams, the rate at which a building settles, and the ate at which the strength of a deposit increases after it has been subjected ...

Significance of pH in Fine Grained Soil

2018
This paper presents the significance of pH of a fine grained soil with respect to strength parameter. The subjected soil was treated with calcium and chloride compound in the form of egg shell powder (ESP) and sodium chloride (NaCl). Soil was reinforced with polypropylene fibre (PPF).

Specific Surface and Hydraulic Conductivity of Fine-Grained Soils

Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2013
AbstractThe Kozeny-Carman (K-C) equation can be used to predict the saturated hydraulic conductivity of a soil, provided enough information is given regarding the porosity and the specific surface. The main limitation of the K-C equation lays in the determination of the specific surface of the soil, a parameter that is not regularly measured but can be

Rheological Characteristics of Fine-Grained Soil-Slurries

Journal of Testing and Evaluation, 2018
Abstract Various natural and man-made scenarios such as rainfall-induced terrestrial landslides, offshore landslides, mudflows, and transportation of mud by pipelines and dredging activities involve fine-grained soils, minerals, and sediments with very high moisture contents (i.e., the slurry state).

Erodibility of Fine Grained Soils and New Soil Test

Erosion of Soils and Scour of Foundations, 2005
This paper deals with the erodib ility of soils in general and fine grained soils in particular. A definition of erodibility is first proposed. Then, the erodibility of fine grained soils is discussed including the soil properties influencing the resistance to erosion. It is found that it is a combination of many common soil properties which combine to

Diffusivity in Consolidating of Fine-Grained Soils

To maintain navigable waterways, each year extremely large volumes of material are dredged. Materials removed from harbours and rivers by dredging operations, consists of solids from the bottom of the waterway along with large amounts of water. Due to the high water content of dredged material, the sites which dispose the materials are generally not ...

Permeation grouting of a fine-grained pyroclastic soil

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Ground Improvement, 2006
A research activity was recently started at the University of Napoli Federico II on the unusual application of permeation grouting to low-permeability soils and rocks. The project is aimed at finding a means for remedying some of the geotechnical hazards that involve the subsoil of Napoli, mostly made in its upper part of collapsible, unsaturated ...
