Aging effects on liquefaction resistance of sand estimated from laboratory investigation
Liquefaction resistance is known to increase concomitantly with the increase in time after construction or sedimentation. Nevertheless, the mechanisms of its aging effect on liquefaction have not been completely elucidated.

TRIAXIAL COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF ULTRA HIGH PERFORMANCE CONCRETE
The aim of this work is to describe the strength of Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) under triaxial compression. The main goal is to find a trend in the triaxial compressive strength development under various values of confinement pressure.

Calculating the state parameter in crushable sands [PDF]
The state parameter (y) measures the distance from the current state to the critical state line (CSL) in the compression plane. The existence of a correlation between both the peak angle of shearing resistance ( # $ ) and peak dilatancy and y is central ...

Strength Characteristics of Nonpenetrating Joint Rock Mass under Different Shear Conditions
The mechanical property of jointed rock mass is an important factor to be considered in the analysis, evaluation, and design of actual rock engineering. The existence of joints threatens the stability and safety of underground engineering projects built ...

Determination of the Internal Friction Angle of Gravel based on the p-q Graph for Direct Shear Tests [PDF]
Since its simplicity and availability, direct shear test is a current one. This test, compared to the triaxial test, provides different values for the parameters of the gravel due to the specific shape of the test device and the test approach.
