Enhancing Thermo-Mechanical Behavior of Bio-Treated Silts Under Cyclic Thermal Stresses
GeosciencesFreeze-thaw (F-T) cycles in seasonally frozen regions induce progressive volumetric strains leading to degradation of soils’ mechanical properties and performance of earthen infrastructure.

Effective and total stress strength interpretation for silts
, 2009 The purpose of this study is to investigate the primary factors which control the engineering behavior of silts. The methods of classifying silts at present do not provide much basis to infer how silts will behave in the field for design purposes.
Pena, Bonifacio I. dela

EngWhen loose, saturated sands and non-plastic silts are subjected to undrained cyclic loading, they will generate positive pore pressures. This increase in pore pressures leads to a decrease in effective stress with a corresponding decrease in shear ...

Seismic analysis of the Niger Delta gravitational detachment system [PDF]
, 2011 Ductile deformation of overpressured, fine-grained, argillaceous sediments (“mobile shale”) is commonly invoked to explain the deformation style at the base of thin-skinned, gravitational detachment systems.

Liquefaction of Silts and Silt-Clay Mixtures
, 1998 No guidelines are available on liquefaction evaluation of silts and silt-clay mixtures during a seismic event based on their simple soil property. The liquefaction behavior of these soils is not properly understood at present and is often confused with ...

Sample preparation of silts for liquefaction testing
, 2007 One of the most important aspects of cyclic testing in the laboratory is using samples that are representative of their in-situ conditions. Since undisturbed samples of cohesionless soils are typically too difficult or costly to obtain, reconstituted ...

New Density Normalization Approach for Evaluation of the Cyclic Resistance of Silts
, 2012 This paper proposes a new normalization approach to replace relative density when evaluating the cyclic resistance of silty soils. Normalization of dry density is advantageous because it captures the combined effects of void ratio and fabric on strength ...

Correlation between cyclic resistance and shear-wave velocity for providence silts
, 2008 As an alternative to a field-based liquefaction resistance approach, cyclic triaxial tests with bender elements were used to develop a new correlation between cyclic resistance ratio (CRR) and overburden stress-corrected shear-wave velocity (VS1) for two
