Effect of anisotropy and destructuration on behavior of Haarajoki test embankment [PDF]

, 2009
This paper investigates the influence of anisotropy and destructuration on the behavior of Haarajoki test embankment, which was built by the Finnish National Road Administration as a noise barrier in 1997 on a soft clay deposit. Half of the embankment is

Anisotropic creep model for soft soils [PDF]

, 2008
In this paper a new anisotropic model for time-dependent behaviour of soft soils is presented. The formulation is based on a previously developed isotropic creep model, assuming rotated Modified Cam Clay ellipses as contours of volumetric creep strain ...

Micromechanical analysis of kinematic hardening in natural clay [PDF]

, 2009
This paper presents a micromechanical analysis of the macroscopic behaviour of natural clay. A microstructural stress-strain model for clayey material has been developed which considers clay as a collection of clusters.

Dynamic characteristics and microscopic pores structure of remolded soft clay under influence of nano-CaCO3 [PDF]

Journal of Hebei University of Science and Technology
To study the dynamic characteristics and microstructure of nano-CaCO3 remolded soft clay under cyclic loading, GDS dynamic triaxial and NMR tests were conducted to analyze its dynamic stress-strain, dynamic elastic modulus, damping ratio, and micro pore ...

Quality of conventional fixed piston samples of Norwegian soft clay [PDF]

, 2009
It is well accepted that the quality of soft clay samples obtained using standard fixed piston samplers can be relatively poor and that block samples are necessary to yield very high quality samples.

Investigation of torsional penetrometer for simulation of track-soft clay interaction

Shuili Shuiyun Gongcheng Xuebao, 2022
Underwater track vehicle will compress and shear the soil as it walks over a soft clay seabed. The compression reflects the depth of penetration and the strength of clay, and the shearing decides the traction that clay could provide.
