Abstract: A series of laboratory tests was performed to evaluate the effect of clay fabric, altered due to the addition of hydrated lime into slurry, on the primary and secondary consolidation behavior of dredged mud samples. In ...

Abstract: Arching is a common phenomenon that is encountered in backfilling behind retaining walls, trenches, or underground voids in the mine. Marston’s equation has been widely used and modified for computing stresses within ...

Abstract: This technical note proposes a simple analytical model for predicting the shear strength behavior of fiber-reinforced granular soils under high confining stresses, where it can be assumed that pullout of fibers does not ...

Abstract: Because of their practicality and simplicity, consolidated isotropic undrained compression (CIUC) triaxial tests are commonly used in practice to determine the undrained shear strength of cohesive soils, even though CAUC or

Abstract: Two design charts for computing the safety factor of soil slopes are presented here. The first one is for an undrained (

Abstract: Anisotropy of clays was studied from cuboidal shear tests on two different clays that were artificially sedimented in a slurry consolidometer. These were supplemented by consolidation tests on specimens cut at different ...
