Abstract: This paper presents the findings of a laboratory investigation on the characterization of a freshly quarried granular base material lightly stabilized with slag-lime cementitious binder involving unconfined compression ...

Abstract: The strain‐softening response of a granular soil along a wide spectrum of strain paths is investigated experimentally. Direct strain‐path control is achieved by controlling the ratio of volume to axial strain increment ...

Abstract: Recent experimental studies revealed that when the drainage condition of loose sand is switched from drained to undrained it can manifest runaway instability prior to attaining the failure stress state. To study this type ...
