Abstract: This paper provides two complete sets of shear strength data for smooth HDPE-compacted clay liner interfaces with two significantly different clay liner materials. Data are presented for interface shear strength behavior ...

Abstract: The liquefaction potential of sand is increasingly evaluated using correlations between cone penetration test (CPT) tip resistance and cyclic resistance. These CPT liquefaction correlations have generally been assumed to ...

Abstract: In this paper, a novel finite-element procedure is used to analyze steady cone penetration in soils. Although the procedure is, in principle, applicable to clay and sand with any plasticity model, this paper is only concerned ...

Abstract: The evolution of cyclic resistance with multiple loading events is evaluated for nonplastic and low-plasticity silts with plasticity indices of 0 and 6, respectively. A series of direct simple shear tests with multiple ...
