Coupled hydro-mechanical behaviour of a Kaolin Clay in the context of the geothermal use of geotechnical structures [PDF]
An experimental study regarding the hydro-mechanical behaviour of a Malaysian Kaolin is presented. Strain rate-controlled oedometer tests have been conducted on compacted samples. The influence of initial water content on the pore-size distribution (PSD)

Physical properties of a Brazilian sandy loam soil after the traffic of a military vehicle M113 BR [PDF]
Soil physical properties can be changed after vehicle traffic, especially by heavy military tracked vehicles. The Santa Maria military Instruction Field, where the experiment was carried out, is currently the most used area for armored tracked vehicles ...

MODELING OF SOIL LOAD-BEARING CAPACITY AS A FUNCTION OF SOIL MECHANICAL RESISTANCE TO PENETRATION
Estimation of soil load-bearing capacity from mathematical models that relate preconsolidation pressure (σp) to mechanical resistance to penetration (PR) and gravimetric soil water content (U) is important for defining strategies to prevent compaction of

Reliability of Methods for Determination of Stress History Parameters in Soils
Stress history acquired by any cohesive soil influences, to a large extent, three groups of fundamental properties indispensable in geotechnical design i.e. state of soil, shear strength, and stiffness characteristics. The basic stress history parameter (
