Abstract: The multiaxial behavior of an artificially lightly cemented sand was investigated using the cubical cell apparatus (CCA). Two different cement–sand blends were prepared by compaction at different densities and cement ...

Abstract: The employment of industrial by-products with pozzolanic properties (e.g., fly ash) is a viable technique for soil stabilization purposes when a more advantageous environmental performance is sought. For routine ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental program aiming to explore the mechanical response of lightly cemented sands under different orientations of the principal stress axes using the hollow cylinder torsional ...

Abstract: Compaction and portland cement addition are among the promising ground improvement procedures to enhance the mechanical properties of chalk putty. The present investigation intends to compute the effect of portland cement ...

Abstract: This work presents a critical state plasticity model for predicting the response of sands to cyclic loading. The well-known bounding surface SANISAND framework by Dafalias and Manzari is enhanced with a memory surface to ...
