Abstract: The existence of large magnitude stresses at the tip of a bearing pile is a well known phenomenon leading to crushing of soil grains and thus affecting pile behavior. Classical foundation design calculations which assume ...

Abstract: In order to simulate the effect of drainage on soils adjacent to gravel drains that are installed as countermeasure against liquefaction, several series of cyclic triaxial tests were performed on saturated sands under ...

Abstract: In order to investigate the influence of water on compression characteristics of decomposed granite soils, single-particle crushing and one-dimensional compression tests were carried out on three types of decomposed granite ...

Abstract: Large-scale one-dimensional compression tests were performed in order to analyze the influence of gravel on the compression properties of gravel-mixed decomposed granite soils. After adjusting the gravel contents of the ...

Abstract: This paper presents the dynamic properties of undisturbed and remolded clays and sand-clay mixtures based on the results of undrained hollow cylindrical torsional cyclic simple shear tests. The clays were obtained from ...

Abstract: A significant increase in effective stress can be induced in hydrate-bearing reservoirs when the depressurization method is applied. A series of drained triaxial shear tests were performed on hydrate-bearing sediments with ...

Abstract: A series of undrained cyclic torsional simple shear tests using hollow cylindrical torsional shear apparatus was carried out to investigate the dynamic shear moduli and damping properties of clayey specimens with various ...

Abstract: Artificial islands often consist of layers of alluvial clay and reclaimed soil of varying order and thickness. Soft clay layers have nonlinear characteristics and can both amplify and attenuate earthquake ground motions. ...

Abstract: The depressurization method that is used to produce methane gas can increase the effective stress in hydrate-bearing sediments and induce deformation and settlement of reservoirs, which has adverse effects on safe and ...
