The overloads of structures or embankments built on clayey soft ground are generally
applied gradually, respecting a specific phasing. This phasing on construction allows the …

An experimental study was undertaken to study the principles of soil compaction and
establish a relation between the undrained shear strength of compacted clay and its …

Marine fine-grained soils are well known for their compressibility, which is typically
measured and reported in terms of compression index, C c. The difficulties associated with …

Knowledge on characteristics of granite residual soil offers important information on soil
strength and its behavior for safe and economic geotechnical structure design. In Malaysia …

A database of CPTU data in marine clays, including index parameters and preconsolidation
stresses from oedometer tests is established. Correlations between CPTU data and …

The undrained shear strength (su) of cohesive soils is a crucial parameter for many
geotechnical engineering applications. Due to the complexities and uncertainties associated …

Prediction of the ultimate settlement is vital for the assessment of the service life of a
structure, particularly when it is underlain by fine-grained soils. As known, this value is a …

Measurement of the compression indexes of clayey soils, particularly reconstituted clays
with a high initial water content, is generally time-consuming and costly. A mitigation of these …

The aim of this study is to reveal the mechanism underlying the influence of adsorbed water
on the deformation of high liquid limit soils, and establish the prediction equation of …

Abstract ASTM D2435 (2000) allows for both Teflon coated stacked rings and wire
reinforced membranes to be used as confinement methods in direct simple shear (DSS) …
