Abstract: This article presents an experimental laboratory study on the effect of plastic compression and stress history on the small strain shear modulus, Gmax, of unsaturated soils. In previous studies, most of the experiments for ...

Abstract: High pressure in water distribution networks may lead to more leakages, bursts, and excessive consumption. Therefore, an effective strategy to improve the reliability of the network is pressure management. Many indices ...

Abstract: In recent years, several empirical and semiempirical relationships have been proposed to predict the small-strain shear modulus of unsaturated fine-grained soils along different hydraulic and mechanical loadings paths. ...
