Abstract: Soft clays are widely distributed in Missouri, United States. Due to their relatively low strength and high compressibility, subgrade construction in soft clays has encountered many difficulties. In recent practice, the ...

Abstract: Strain-controlled cyclic simple-shear tests were performed on silica sand with radial strain measurements. The specimens were tested under a constant

Abstract: Gravel deposits are materials that contain large particles. The mechanical behavior of such materials is conventionally examined using large-scale tests such as large-scale triaxial and in situ shear tests. However, the ...

Abstract: Strain-controlled cyclic simple-shear tests were performed on silica sand with radial strain measurements. The specimens were tested under a constant K0 condition and subjected to cyclic loading and postcyclic monotonic ...
