Modelling of collapse settlement by effective stress and shear strength interaction for granite residual soil / Ismacahyadi Bagus Mohamed Jais [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Over the years, consolidation settlement has always been associated with effective stress increase. However, in unsaturated soils, volume change behaviour of soils due to wetting is always complex due to changes of the soil when it is inundated. The main

The plastic limit of clays [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The plastic limit of soils was first described by Atterberg in 1911. The thread-rolling test was standardised at the US Public Roads Bureau in the 1920s and 1930s, and has subsequently become one of the standard tests of soil mechanics.

Smart REASSURED Sensors via Machine‐Augmented Printable On‐Paper Arrays

open access: yesAdvanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.
This perspective highlights the emerging role of pattern‐recognition, printable on‐paper sensor arrays for intelligent PoC diagnostics. It discusses how paper's inherent limitations can be overcome through surface modification and scalable printing, and how machine‐learning analysis of cross‐reactive arrays enables multiplexed, low‐cost, and REASSURED ...

The Effect of Roots on the Shear Strength of Texturally Distinct Soils

open access: yesFloresta e Ambiente
The aim of this work was to evaluate the roots influence on the shear strength of a clay soil and a sandy soil. Soil samples with and without roots were collected from experimental plantations of Atlantic Forest native species. The soil samples were then

Shear Behavior of Frozen Rock-Soil Mixture

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2016
Mechanical behavior of frozen rock-soil mixture was investigated through direct shear test based on remolded specimens. The peak shear strength of rock-soil mixture increases greatly when it is fully frozen.

Thixotropic Hardening of Fao Clay

open access: yesJournal of Engineering, 2019
Fao region is characterized by weak soft silty clay to clayey silt thick layer which extends to a depth of about 20 m. The construction of some structures on such soils may needs piles.

Experimental study on shear characteristics of the silty clay soil-ice interface

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
During the spring thawing, the decrease of soil-ice interface strength by temperature may lead to slope instability. For this reason, some researchers have explored the relationship between temperature and soil-ice interface strength.

Verification of the Fredlund (2019) Unsaturated Shear Strength Function

open access: yesGeosciences, 2021
There has been a proliferation of equations proposed to describe the unsaturated shear strength envelope going back to the 1970s. However, there have been limited studies to verify the suitability of one unsaturated shear strength equation over another ...

Soil compaction of peat under the influence of electrokinetic stabilization (EKS) treatment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
This study aims to enhance the properties of peat such as, (shear strength, compressibility, permeability and liquid limit). Peat is considered as one of the problematic soil in construction projects all over the world, which covers about 4% land of the ...

Effect of strain rate on isotropically consolidated kaolin over a wide range of strain rates in the triaxial apparatus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Soils display strain rate dependant behaviour which may pose a problem in geotechnical engineering applications. In this study a modified lectromechanical triaxial apparatus was used to shear normally consolidated reconstituted Speswhite kaolin samples ...
