A new slurry-based method of preparation of specimens of sand containing fines [PDF]
, 2007 A new method of specimen reconstitution is presented that is appropriate for element testing of sands containing either plastic or nonplastic fines. The method allows reconstitution of homogeneous, saturated specimens of sands containing fines whose ...

Investigation of p-y Behaviors of a Cyclic Laterally Loaded Pile in Saturated Silty Sand
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2022 This study aimed to evaluate the p-y behavior of pile foundations installed in saturated silty sand subject to cyclic lateral loading. Model piles were installed in saturated silty sand with three relative densities (40%, 70%, 90%), and lateral loads of ...

The Influence of Compaction on the Mechanical Behaviour of a Silty Sand
Soils and Foundations, 1998 The paper analyses the mechanical behaviour of a silty sand, as it was measured in laboratory tests on samples prepared with different density and moisture contents. After a description of the physical characteristics of the material, the methods used to prepare compacted and slurry-consolidated soil samples are reported, followed by a description of ...

Investigation into the effect of uncertainty of CPT-based soil type estimation on the accuracy of CPT-based pile bearing capacity analysis [PDF]
, 2016 Cone Penetration Test (CPT or CPTu) is commonly used for estimating soil types and also for the geotechnical design of pile foundation. However, the level of agreement between the CPT-based soil types and the traditional identification of soil types ...

Calibration of a generalized plasticity model for compacted silty sand under constant-suction shearing tests [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 The stress-strain response of compacted silty sand with over-consolidated stress history often exhibit distinct peak stress before reaching the critical stress type of response when subjected to suction-controlled triaxial shearing.

Influence of Desaturation and Shrinkage on Evaporative Flux from Soils
Geotechnics, 2022 An assessment of evaporation losses from soils is critical for sustainable agriculture in semi-arid regions. The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of desaturation and shrinkage on evaporative flux from representative soils.

The Decrease of the Strength of Unsaturated Silty Sand [PDF]
Ingeniería, investigación y tecnología, 2012 It is generally considered that the shear strength of fine soils continuously increases with suction; however, this is not the case for all types of soils. There are some soils whose strength reaches a maximum at certain suction and then reduces with further of suction. Nevertheless, such cases have not been completely documented and analyzed.
