Soft computing of the recompression index of fine-grained soils
Soft Computing, 2021Consolidation settlement is a phenomenon happens in saturated fine-grained soils when subjected to change in effective stress. Consolidation settlement is often determined using the compressibility parameters, the compression index ( $$Cc$$ ) and the recompression index

Modeling SWCC for Coarse-Grained and Fine-Grained Soil
2020Following Chap. 2, the work is extended to predict SWCC of a soil with different initial densities by using Bayesian method, for both coarse-grained and fine-grained soil. An adjustment parameter (β) is introduced to express the relationships between the matric suctions of two soil samples.

1975
Fine-grained micas are present in nearly all soils. Frequently, they are the most abundant component of the clay fraction. In many soils, micas are the principal source of native potassium for plants. On weathering, micas are altered to vermiculite and sometimes to smectitelike minerals and, as such, significantly increase the cation exchange capacity ...

One‐Dimensional Consolidation of Unsaturated Fine‐Grained Soils
Journal of Geotechnical Engineering, 1990In this study, one-dimensional consolidation of fine-grained soils is considered. By taking into account the results of the infiltration theory, a new approach, which is applicable to soils in either saturated or unsaturated conditions, is given.

Characterization of Compacted Fine-Grained Soils
2020Compaction 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 ...

Compressibility of Contaminated Fine-Grained Soils
Geotechnical Testing Journal, 1994Abstract 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.

Significance of pH in Fine Grained Soil
2018This 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).

The Permeability of Fine-Grained Soils
1955The 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 ...

Stiffness of fine-grained soil at very small strains
Géotechnique, 1995The 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 ...

Specific Surface and Hydraulic Conductivity of Fine-Grained Soils
Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2013AbstractThe 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
