Abstract: The yielding and the peak strength of an aged compacted clay were studied by conducting a series of suction-controlled triaxial tests. The test results were interpreted using the framework of intrinsic properties of ...

Abstract: In this paper, the stress-strain relationship and volumetric behavior of a loosely compacted unsaturated decomposed volcanic soil (fill) were studied by conducting three series of triaxial stress path tests: (1) consolidated ...

Abstract: The paper presents a study of the soil–water transfer mechanism for solidified dredged materials. Soil–water consists of free water, bound water, and hydration water. The resulting hydrates change the soil–water composition ...

Abstract: Weathered soils are used extensively as fill materials in slope construction in tropical and subtropical cities such as Hong Kong. The mechanical behavior of loose decomposed fill materials, particularly in the unsaturated ...

Abstract: One-dimensional infiltration tests were conducted to investigate the effects of rainfall intensity and initial water content on the transient infiltration pattern of unsaturated silty sand. For a constant rainfall intensity ...
