Abstract: This paper presents results from physical model testing of lateral clay-pipe interaction. The main reason for this research was the accident in Rio de Janeiro in January 2000 when more than

Abstract: Penetration resistance in fine-grained soils varies with the rate of penetration. Considering undrained behavior as a reference, as the rate of penetration is reduced, soil resistance increases because of the effects of ...

Abstract: A full-scale vacuum preloading test was performed for an embankment construction on a Canadian structured clay deposit at Saint-Roch-de-l’Achingan. Accordingly, extensive instrumentation was used to monitor field behavior ...
