As a kind of weak foundation treatment method, vacuum preloading (VP) combined with
prefabricated vertical drain (PVD) has been used in practical engineering successfully. The …

A state-of-the-art review has been conducted in this work on soil constitutive modeling,
which has emphasized on: soil type, ground-water conditions, loading conditions, structural …

An experimental program was undertaken to investigate the effects of discrete short
polypropylene fiber (PP-fiber) on the strength and mechanical behavior of uncemented and …

In recent years, geotextile encasement has been used to extend the use of stone columns to
extremely soft soils. Although the technique is now well established, little research has been …

A constitutive, non-isothermal unified hardening (UH) model is presented to interpret the
thermo-elasto-plastic behaviours of normally consolidated and overconsolidated clays. Two …

One of the essential features of thermomechanical behaviour of saturated fine-grained soils
is the thermally induced volume change occurring under a drained heating condition. In this …

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation carried out to study
thermally induced volume changes under drained heating condition and thermally induced …

Consolidation of marine soft soils with prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) and vacuum
preloading is a hot spot of research in marine geotechnical engineering. Marine soft soils …

This experimental work was performed to investigate the influence of silica fume–scrap tire
rubber fiber mixture inclusion on the geotechnical properties of clayey soils. The natural and …

This paper presents the results of an intensive laboratory study carried out on undisturbed
soft Bangkok clay specimens to investigate the effect of temperature on shear strength and …
