Experimental Study on Creep Behavior in Oedometer Tests of Reconstituted Soft Clays
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The creep behavior of soft clays is essential in evaluating the long-term deformation of foundations. Because this behavior of naturally deposited clays is very complex as a result of their structures, loading history, and ...
Experimental Investigation of the Deformation Characteristics of Natural Loess under the Stress Paths in Shield Tunnel Excavation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Natural loess with large voids and weakly bonded structures is widespread in the arid areas of the world, particularly northwestern China. Recent experimental studies have shown that the mechanical behavior of natural loess ...
An Empirical Swelling Pressure Kinetics Model for Bentonite and Bentonite-Based Materials Hydrated under Constant Volume Conditions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Swelling pressure (SP) is one of the most basic properties of bentonite and bentonite-based materials. To date, extensive models have been proposed for predicting SP. However, most of the existing models are aimed at ...
