RISConsolidation Behavior for Saturated Sand–Marine Clay Mixtures Considering the Intergranular Structure Evolution
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Laboratory tests on sand–marine clay mixtures reveal that the effect of sand mass fraction on the overall consolidation behavior is negligible for a sand mass fraction of 20% or less. Further increase of the sand fraction ...
Practical Estimation of Compression Behavior of Clayey/Silty Sands Using Equivalent Void-Ratio Concept
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Clayey/silty sands are widespread as naturally sedimentary soils such as marine deposits in estuaries and offshore locations. They belong to a unique class of gap-graded soils featuring a deficiency of certain range of ...
Elastic Visco-Plastic Model for Binary Sand-Clay Mixtures with Applications to One-Dimensional Finite Strain Consolidation Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The pore water dissipation of sand–clay mixtures is significantly affected by the sand fraction due to nonuniform stress distribution. On the basis of the elastic visco-plastic modeling concepts of Yin and Graham, a new ...
Effect of Initial Density, Particle Shape, and Confining Stress on the Critical State Behavior of Weathered Gap-Graded Granular Soils
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Weathered gap-graded soils are a common geological body in mountainous regions, and they are widely used as construction materials. The shear strength is the controlling parameter for the design of civil projects; however, ...
Precise Model for Predicting Excess Pore-Water Pressure of Layered Soils Induced by Thermal-Mechanical Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper proposes a precise model to investigate the time-dependent response of excess pore-water pressure in stratified saturated soil induced by coupling effects from temperature and mechanical load based on the ...
