Increased shear strength in frictional soil

open access: yes, 2022
Limit equilibrium analysis (LEA) of slope stability is the main concept in evaluating existing structures and for designing of new ones. When doing a LEA cohesion c’ and friction angle φ’ are conventionally used for strength determination. Since LEA does not properly take consideration of factors contributing to increased shear strength in frictional ...

Critical expansion points: Mechanical signs of surrounding rock instability

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study proposes the Rock Bearing‐Expansion Model (RockBEM) with critical expansion points (CEPs) to quantify post‐peak damage stages in deep‐buried rock masses via plane strain compression test (PSCT). CEP hysteresis&interval ratios reveal bearing performance dynamics and failure severity, advancing mechanistic insights into deep underground rock ...

Numerical and experimental study on P‐wave propagation across a rock joint with different orientations

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Joint orientation significantly affects P‐wave velocity, with the highest velocity at zero‐degree angles, decreasing to 30° as the angle increases. The velocity increases slightly from 30 to 45 degrees but sharply decreases from 45 to 90 degrees. Abstract Determination of the required parameters in different science contexts using the ultrasonic wave ...

Damage Strength Model of Soil–Structure Interface Based on Equivalent Damage

open access: yes工程科学与技术
Objective Pile-soil interaction plays a critical role in slope support engineering. Since the contact surface represents the weakest link in the system, analyzing the influence of the soil shear area on the mechanical properties and the constitutive ...

A combination of SEM and EDX studies on a clay-based natural composite with animal fibre and its mechanical implications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
A variety of natural fibres are nowadays being utilized as soil reinforcement. Test results demonstrate the positive effects of adding natural fibres to soils, in that they decrease shrinkage, reduce curing time and enhance compressive, flexural and ...

Study on the composite fracture characteristics of filling and reinforcing cracked rock mass after high temperature damage

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Cement infill shares compressive and shear stresses during loading, while interfacial friction hinders crack propagation and reduces stress concentration, improving the rock's load‐bearing capacity. Failure modes vary with crack inclination. Unfilled specimens show four modes.

Peat Soil Stabilization using Lime and Cement

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2018
This paper presents a study of the comparison between two additive Lime and Cement for treating peat soil in term of stabilization. Peat and organic soils are commonly known for their high compressibility, extremely soft, and low strength.
