RISNew Correlation Equations for Compression Index of Remolded Clays
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Compressibility of a soil mass is among the most important geotechnical properties that is widely used during the design of geotechnical structures. Various regression equations have been proposed by numerous researchers ...
A New Method for the Correlation of Residual Shear Strength of the Soil with Mineralogical Composition
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Mineralogical composition, measured with x-ray diffraction for soil specimens collected from more than 80 natural disaster areas, show smectite, kaolinite, mica, feldspar, and quartz as major constituent minerals. Based ...
Objective Oriented Multistage Ring Shear Test for Shear Strength of Landslide Soil
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Ring shear tests were conducted on five samples of different nature with a modified Imperial College type ring shear machine. The three different testing methods used, (1) individual sample testing for each normal stress, ...
Variation in Residual Shear Strength of the Soil with the Salinity of Pore Fluid
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Slope stabilization procedures for seven landslides in the Niigata Prefecture of Japan had provided an excellent and rare opportunity to examine the composition of ground water, and residual shear strength of the sliding ...
Dynamic Properties of Lightweight Cellular Concrete for Geotechnical Applications
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Lightweight cellular concrete (LCC) materials have been used in various civil engineering applications for several decades. In this study, the dynamic behavior of LCC materials was evaluated for possible geotechnical ...
Characterization of the Reduction in Undrained Shear Strength in Fine-Grained Soils due to Cyclic Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To evaluate the effect of plasticity characteristics and mineralogical composition on postcyclic shear strength degradation, 18 soils, prepared as different proportions of kaolinite, montmorillonite, and ground quartz, ...

Compaction Characteristics, Unconfined Compressive Strengths, and Coefficients of Permeability of Fine-Grained Soils Mixed with Crumb-Rubber Tire
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, five different weak soils were mixed with five different sizes of crumb rubber in six different proportions and used to understand the influence of the size and quantity of crumb rubber on the compaction ...
Comparison of Residual Shear Strengths from Back Analysis and Ring Shear Tests on Undisturbed and Remolded Specimens
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Slope stabilization procedures for six landslides in the Niigata prefecture in Japan afforded an excellent opportunity to examine the residual drained shear strength of weathered mudstones. Installation of 3 m diameter ...
Mechanical Properties of Lightweight Cellular Concrete for Geotechnical Applications
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Lightweight cellular concrete provides many advantages in geotechnical applications, however, its use has been limited because of a lack of understanding of its engineering properties. In this study, laboratory soil tests ...
