Impact of fine materials on the saturated and unsaturated behavior of silty sand soil

Ain Shams Engineering Journal, 2020
The current study aims to investigate the influence of the addition of fine materials on the engineering properties of silty sand soil. An intensive laboratory study of saturated and unsaturated silty sand soil treated with different percentages of fine ...

One-dimensional compression of a crushable sand in dry and wet conditions [PDF]

, 2015
This paper presents the results of a series of dry and wet one-dimenional compression tests on a calcareous sand from the Persian Gulf. Calcareous grains crush more easily compared to silica grains, a fact that is mainly attributed to their angular shape

Influence of Loosely Bound Water on Compressibility of Compacted Fine-Grained Soils

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2020
This study aimed to investigate the influence of loosely bound water (LBW) on the compressibility of compacted fine-grained soils and accurately determine the soil’s compression index. Four fine-grained soils (i.e., heavy clay, heavy silt, lean clay, and

Modelling the thermo-mechanical volume change behaviour of compacted expansive clays [PDF]

, 2009
Compacted expansive clays are often considered as a possible buffer material in high-level deep radioactive waste disposals. After the installation of waste canisters, the engineered clay barriers are subjected to thermo-hydro-mechanical actions in the ...

Analysing the form of the confined uniaxial compression curve of various soils [PDF]

, 2008
International audienceThe soil compaction by vehicles is a major factor responsible for physical degradation of cultivated soils. Uniaxial confined compression tests are usually performed to characterise the compaction properties of soil.

Biochar and Matric Suction: Modulators of Soil Resistance and Resilience Under Uniaxial Compression Loading Test

Agronomy
Intensive agricultural mechanization in Northeast China has exacerbated soil compaction and degraded water retention. Although biochar modifies soil hydraulics, its combined effect with matric suction on compressive behavior remains unclear.

Using small-angle X-ray scattering to investigate the compaction behaviour of a granulated clay [PDF]

, 2015
The compaction behaviour of a commercial granulated clay (magnesium aluminium smectite, gMgSm) was investigated using macroscopic pressure-density measurements, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray microtomography (XμT) and ...

Regression Analysis of Soil Compressibility

Soils and Foundations, 1976
ABSTRACT Statistical techniques are used to analyze and evaluate experimental data from more than 700 consolidation tests on a large variety of undisturbed soils, and regression equations are developed to estimate the compression index and the compression ratio from classification or index data. These regression equations are then examined within the

Numerical modelling of in-plane behaviour of adobe walls [PDF]

, 2010
Some tests for material characterization of adobe blocks and adobe masonry have been carried out in universities and laboratories around the world. However, the number of tests is quite limited in comparison with those carried out with other structural ...
