Organic Material and Soil Compressibility

Journal of the Geotechnical Engineering Division, 1980
Compression tests on model organic soils have shown that higher organic fractions significantly increase soil compressibility. Precise control over organic content, fiber type and size, and mineral type in the model soil were made possible using kaolinite-fiber mixtures.

Compressibility characteristics of soils

Geotechnical and Geological Engineering, 2005
Compressibility characteristics of soils forms one of the important soil parameters required in design considerations. Compression index, C c , which is the slope of the linear portion of void ratio, e vs. logaritham of effective pressure p(log p) relationship, is extensively used for settlement determination.

Soil Deformation Under Compressive Forces

1989
Recent developments are presented with respect to: seasonal fluctuation of soil physical condition, equivalent precompaction stresses, estimation of stresses and strains, central-tire-inflation-system, capillary crumbling model, physical-chemical considerations, unstable and stable behavior, inter- vs intra-aggregate strength, flow, wet compaction ...

Compressing soil structural information

2020
<p>The ability of correlation functions to describe structure (Karsanina et al., 2015; Karsanina et al., 2018) and provide means to reconstruct the structure based on correlation functions (Gerke and Karsanina, 2015; Karsanina and Gerke, 2018) alone was proposed as means to effectively compress and store structural information ...

Compression of Agricultural Soils from Eight Soil Orders

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1980
Abstract Compression curves (bulk density vs. log applied stress) determined on 36 world agricultural soil samples at a given water content were linear over the range of stresses from about 1 to 10 kg cm −2 .

Secondary compression of sabkha “saline” soils

Engineering Geology, 1991
Abstract Sabkha soils are coastal and inland saline deposits of arid climates consisting mainly of loosely cemented sandy silt to silty clay particles. Invariably the soils contain an appreciable amount of organic material and therefore are characterized by being highly compressible.

Compression model for cohesionless soils

Géotechnique, 1995
A simple four-parameter elasto-plastic model describes the non-linear volumetric behaviour of freshly deposited cohesionless soils in hydrostatic and one-dimensional compression. It expresses the tangent bulk modulus as a separable function of the current void ratio and mean effective stress using natural strains.

Compression Strength of Soils

2018
In this chapter, the probabilistic porous-solid model is used to determine the mean effective stress of soils at failure. The plots of the deviator stress against the mean effective stress show a unique failure line for a series of triaxial tests performed at different confining net stress and suctions for both wetting and drying paths.

Soil Compactability and Compressibility

1994
Summary The strength of structured soils during loading depends on both effective stresses and neutral stresses. Thus, soil compaction affects the inter- as well as the intra-aggregate pore size distribution and results in changes of several parameters of the effective-stress equation.
