Triaxial tests on frozen ground: formulation and modelling [PDF]

, 2013
Artificial Ground Freezing (AGF) is a controllable process that can be used by engineers to stabilise temporarily the ground, provide structural support and/or exclude groundwater from an excavation until construction of the final lining provides ...

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.

Influence of Mechanical Yielding on Predictions of Saturation: The Saturation Line [PDF]

, 2017
It is now well accepted that the mechanical and the water retention behaviour of a soil under unsaturated conditions are coupled and, that such coupling, should be incorporated into a constitutive model for a realistic representation of soil’s response ...

Rainfall-induced differential settlements of foundations on heterogeneous unsaturated soils [PDF]

, 2013
This study stochastically investigates the rainfall-induced differential settlement of a centrally loaded, rigid strip foundation on an unsaturated soil with spatially varying values of either preconsolidation stress or porosity.

Interpreting Measurements of Small Strain Elastic Shear Modulus under Unsaturated Conditions [PDF]

, 2016
Bender element testing of unsaturated isotropically compacted speswhite kaolin samples was used to investigate the variation of small strain elastic shear modulus G under unsaturated conditions. Testing was performed in a suction-controlled triaxial cell

Compression Index and Compression Ratio Prediction by Artificial Neural Networks

Journal of Engineering, 2017
Information about soil consolidation is essential in geotechnical design. Because of the time and expense involved in performing consolidation tests, equations are required to estimate compression index from soil index properties. Although many empirical

Perilaku Geser Tanah yang Distabilisasi dengan Abu Ampas Tebu-Semen dan Inklusi Serat Polyester

Media Komunikasi Teknik Sipil, 2017
Bagasse ash is a fine residue collected from the burning of bagasse in sugar factory, and it behaves as pozzolanic materials. In addition, engineering behaviour of bagasse ash can be improved by addition of cement containing high calcium.

Discrete modelling of capillary mechanisms in multi-phase granular media [PDF]

, 2009
A numerical study of multi-phase granular materials based upon micro-mechanical modelling is proposed. Discrete element simulations are used to investigate capillary induced effects on the friction properties of a granular assembly in the pendular regime.
