Abstract: Two of the conventional methods to improve soft soil deposits are evaporative dewatering and accelerated consolidation of the deposits using prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs). Evaporative dewatering is limited in ...

Abstract: Hydraulic conductivities of soils rely significantly on three factors, the properties of their pore water, the relative quantity of their pore water, and changes in their pore structure. For saturated soft soils, that ...

Abstract: This study presents physical observations and insights into particle migration characteristics throughout the suffusion process. Using a purpose-built coaxial permeameter cell, suffusion experiments were conducted on ...

Abstract: The ventilated well method (VWM) is a recently introduced novel dewatering and densification technique for soft soils that relies on controlled evaporation through ventilated and perforated wells traversing through the ...

Abstract: The geometric properties of the pore space govern the electrical and hydraulic properties of soils. Recognizing this commonality, this paper proposes a new approach to determine permeability from high-frequency electromagnetic ...

Abstract: Suffusion occurs when soil particles are loosened, detached, and transported away by seepage flow through a series of pores and pore constrictions. While traditional suffusion assessment methods are often based on particle ...

Abstract: Engineers often face the challenge of constructing on soft soils that are associated with low bearing capacity and severe post-constructional settlements. In the subsurface zone, volume-change behavior of saturated soft ...

Abstract: Moisture content has a direct influence on structural performance of pavement. Every year in Australia, heavy vehicles damage roads when the moisture content of the pavement layers reaches a critical value because of heavy ...
