This study aims to achieve the densest possible state of soil for constructing dams and
roads. This requires assessing the compaction characteristics, Optimum Moisture Content …

This study investigated the relationships between the electrical and selected mechanical
properties of soil. The analyses focused on comparing various modeling relationships under …

This study evaluates the applicability of using a robust, novel, data-driven method in
proposing surrogate models to predict the maximum dry unit weight, optimum moisture …

Compacting soil is crucial in almost every earthwork project to achieve the densest possible
state. The compaction characteristics of soil, such as Optimum Moisture Content (OMC) and …

Soil compaction is a crucial component of the construction process in geotechnical
engineering since most of the structures, and earth-retaining structures are supported by the …

High-permeability sand cannot control the water that is stored behind an embankment. In
addition, if clay cannot be provided within a reasonable distance of the embankment …

Void ratio is a critical soil characteristic directly describing the degree of sand compaction.
Though several empirical models for void ratio prediction were available in the literature, the …

The compaction behavior of solidified dredged fine sediments is an important parameter for
recycling dredged fine sediments in road engineering. However, the Proctor compaction test …

Swell-shrink phenomenon experienced by foundation soils like the subgrade layer is a
major cause of failures in pavement facilities. This phenomenon is fundamentally caused by …

Materials with sufficient strength and stiffness can transfer nonlinear design loads without
damage. The present study compares crack propagation speed and shape in rock-like …
