Abstract: This paper addresses problems of interpreting the results of loading tests in a residual homogeneous, cohesive-frictional soil. Data are presented comparing load-settlement behavior measured from tests carried out using ...

Abstract: This work aims at studying the stress-strain-strength behavior of an artificially cemented sandy soil produced through the addition of portland cement. An analysis of the mechanical behavior of the soil is performed from ...

Abstract: Triaxial compression tests were carried out to evaluate the effect of randomly distributed fiber reinforcement and cement inclusion on the response of a sandy soil to load. Cemented specimens were prepared with cement ...

Abstract: This technical note discusses the load–settlement response from two steel plate load tests (0.3 m diameter, 25 mm thick) carried out on a thick homogeneous stratum of compacted sandy soil, reinforced with polypropylene ...
