Abstract: Field trials were initiated to investigate the feasibility of minimizing secondary as well as enforcing primary compression of peaty clays by dynamic replacement and mixing (DRM) with sand charges using conventional heavy ...

Abstract: A model is proposed for finite‐element modeling of tension crack propagation in soils. The essential features of this model are the splitting of a single node into two distinct nodes in the wake of an advancing crack tip ...

Abstract: A world‐wide review of heavy‐tamping projects indicated that highly organic clays, which due to their secondary compression characteristics may not be amenable to treatment by surcharge and vertical drain installation ...
