Static Liquefaction Assessment Combining Shear Wave Velocity, Peak Strength and Soil Grading

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
A large set of undrained compression triaxial tests was carried out on different types of cohesionless soils, from sands to silty sands and silts. Shear wave velocity measurements were also carried out.

On the use of constrained modulus for soil settlement analysis

open access: yesMagazine of Civil Engineering
Soil settlement is a key parameter in engineering design of geotechnical structures. Two approaches have been used for the characterization of soil behaviour under one dimensional compression: the linear - nonlinear, the traditional approach, and the ...

THE PROBLEMS OF IDENTIFICATION OF THE NEO-PLEISTOCENE GLACIAL MEGA-FLOOD DEPOSITS IN THE ALTAI MOUNTAINS REGION

open access: yesЛëд и снег, 2015
Similarities and differences of glacial megaflood deposits and deposits of other genetic types of Gorny Altai are considered in the paper. Diluvial sedimentary complex includes (from bottom to top): debris flow facies of boulder-pebbles with giant ...

Experimental Study of the Dynamic Shear Modulus Ratio and Damping Ratio of the Quaternary Sedimentary Soils in the Offshore Areas of the Yellow Sea

open access: yesGeofluids, 2021
The effects of marine and continental sedimentary environments and geological ages on the dynamic shear modulus ratio and damping ratio of the Quaternary sedimentary soils in the offshore areas of the Yellow Sea were analyzed by using a resonant column ...

On the Behavior of Bauxite Tailings under a Wide Range of Stresses

open access: yesMining
Despite its vital importance to the contemporary economy, some drawbacks are mainly associated with waste derived from mining activity. This waste consists of tailings that are hydraulically disposed of in large impoundments, the tailings dams.

Liquefaction Behavior of Mississippi River Silts

open access: yes, 2008
Civil Infrastructure Built on Alluviums and Recent Deposits, Such as Dams, Contain Significant Amount of Silts. the Static and Dynamic Behavior of These Fine-Grained Soils Has Been Investigated Less Than the Clay-Like or Sand-Like Soils.

Undrained Cyclic Shear Resistance of Low Plastic Silts

open access: yes, 2020
A magnitude 9 Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake is expected to trigger widespread liquefaction in loose material in Oregon. The geotechnical engineering studies have determined that the Willamette Silts may be susceptible to liquefaction or cyclic ...

A Laboratory-Scale Miniature Piezocone Framework for Investigating Rate-Dependent Partial Drainage in Intermediate-Permeability Soils

open access: yesGeotechnics
Penetration rate effects and partial drainage can govern piezocone (CPTu) response in intermediate permeability geomaterials, but field testing at a fixed standard rate limits systematic evaluation.
