Abstract: The behavior of Hostun RF sand on proportional strain paths at low confining pressures (20 to 100 kPa) is considered in this paper. In such paths, a constant dilation rate is imposed during shear. The usual features of ...

Abstract: Analysis of geotechnical problems concerned by low confinement such as design of shallow foundations and analysis of slope stability and soil liquefaction requires modeling of the soil behavior at low stresses. This note ...

Abstract: The mechanical strength of a fine-grained lateritic soil treated with CEMII/BM 32.5 N cement up to 9% by weight of dry soil and prepared at three different molding water contents was investigated by means of California ...
