LOW-COST ELECTRO-MECHANICAL PRESS FOR DETERMINING PRE-CONSOLIDATION PRESSURE [PDF]

Engenharia Agrícola, 2022
The pre-consolidation pressure is a soil parameter indicating the maximum load that can be supported without irreversible deformation. However, the commercially available equipment for such determination is very expensive, limiting studies on this ...

Experimental Investigation into Compressive Behaviour and Preconsolidation Pressure of Structured Loess at Different Moisture Contents

Geofluids, 2021
This paper investigates the influence of the structured property of loess on its compressive behaviour and proposes a new method for determining the preconsolidation pressure of structured loess soil.

Insight on bulk shear strength parameters of clay using discrete element approach incorporating physics-based interparticle force model

Soils and Foundations, 2023
This paper aims to provide insight on factors affecting the bulk shear strength parameters of clay, i.e., the cohesion and internal friction as well as the effects of memory of preconsolidation pressure.

APPLICABILITY OF SHANSEP METHOD IN EVALUATION OF PRECONSOLIDATION PRESSURE

e-GFOS, 2020
This article presents an experimental study on 81 specimens made from three different mixtures of clay and sand. To ensure uniform initial parameters, all specimens were prepared with an initial water content of 30%.

Rainfall-induced differential settlements of foundations on heterogeneous unsaturated soils [PDF]

, 2013
This study stochastically investigates the rainfall-induced differential settlement of a centrally loaded, rigid strip foundation on an unsaturated soil with spatially varying values of either preconsolidation stress or porosity.

COMPRESSIBLITY AND PENETRABILITY OF LATOSSOLO VERMELHO-AMARELO DISTRÓFICO (OXISOL) UNDER VARIED MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND LAND USES

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2015
Soil compaction is one of the main degradation causes, provoked by inappropriate agricultural practices that override the limitations of the soil physical properties.

Anisotropic creep model for soft soils [PDF]

, 2008
In this paper a new anisotropic model for time-dependent behaviour of soft soils is presented. The formulation is based on a previously developed isotropic creep model, assuming rotated Modified Cam Clay ellipses as contours of volumetric creep strain ...

Método alternativo de avaliação da pressão de preconsolidação por meio de um penetrômetro Alternative method for the evaluation of the preconsolidation pressure through a penetrometer

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2004
A curva de compressão do solo tem sido freqüentemente utilizada em estudos de compactação do solo. Essa curva representa graficamente a relação entre o logaritmo da pressão aplicada e a densidade do solo ou o índice de vazios.

Compactibility of cohesive soils from tablelands as influenced by cassava wastewater [PDF]

Ciência e Agrotecnologia, 2023
Consolidation tests give important insights into soil compactibility. However, it requires equipment that is not always available. The costal tablelands in Northeastern Brazil have extensive areas of cohesive soils where compaction is an expressive ...
