Chemically specifi C multiscale modeling of clay-polymer nanocomposites reveals intercalation dynamics, tactoid self-assembly and emergent materials properties [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A quantitative description is presented of the dynamical process of polymer intercalation into clay tactoids and the ensuing aggregation of polymerentangled tactoids into larger structures, obtaining various characteristics of these nanocomposites ...

Influence of sand incorporation on unconfined compression strength of cement-based stabilized soft clay

open access: yesSoils and Foundations, 2021
Cement-based stabilization by deep mixing or grouting is a popular method used to enhance soft clay ground because clay gradation has a significant effect on its unconfined compression strength.

The hybrid of floating stone column by numerical and physical evaluation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Rapid population growth amplifying demand for accommodation and infrastructure has resulted in soft ground being increasingly used in construction. Problems related to soft ground can be remedied by adopting a ground improvement technique.

Monitoring and Prediction Analysis of Settlement for the Substation on Soft Clay Foundation

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2022
The bearing capacity of soft clay foundations is low, which easily causes excessive cumulative and uneven settlement of the substation. This will seriously threaten the safe operation of equipment in the substation.

The behaviour of remolded Batu Pahat soft clay with different OCR values under cyclic loading [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The Batu Pahat Soft Clay, (BPSC) of Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia, (UTHM) were low in shear strength, bearing capacity, and suffer large settlements when subjected to loading.

An Improved Nonlinear Settlement Calculation Method for Soft Clay considering Structural Characteristics

open access: yesGeofluids, 2021
The settlement calculation model for soft clay foundation is established based on Hooke’s law and the Duncan-Chang model. By introducing the concept of damage ratio, the method for determining the deformation modulus of soil before and after damage under

Anisotropic creep model for soft soils [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Tunneling through soft clay

open access: yes, 2005
A new railway line was under construction in Northern Sweden, along the shoreline of the Gulf of Bothnia, between Umea and Ornskoldsvik. The ground conditions varied dramatically: Postglacial clay and silt valleys with intermediate ridges of crystalline, Precambrian bedrock, crossing the railway line.

Numerical analyses of stone column installation in Bothkennar clay [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The paper presents the results of numerical simulations studying the installation effects of stone columns in a natural soft clay. Stone column installation is modelled as an undrained expansion of a cylindrical cavity, using the finite element code ...

Geotechnical and Minerology Properties of Marine Clay at the Northeast of Penang Island

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
A series of subsurface investigation including in-situ and laboratory tests has been carefully planned and executed for a proposed residential and commercial development over soft marine clay at Tg Tokong, Penang Island.
