Abstract: The consolidation behavior of a foundation with vertical drains under vacuum preloading is affected by the lateral deformation and well resistance. In this study, a nonlinear consolidation model is developed based on the ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a practical method of determining embankment loads-induced vertical superimposed stress in subsoil by incorporating the effects of contact stress and soil elastoplastic behavior. The particulate–probabilistic ...

Abstract: A series of isotropically consolidated undrained triaxial tests were performed on cemented clay with super-absorbent polymer (SAP) at high water content to investigate the effect of SAP content on the undrained shear ...

Abstract: Naturally sedimentary soils, such as marine clays, weathered residual soils, and glacial deposits, usually possess a certain amount of sand particles. These types of soils could be classified as sandy clay, because the ...
