Abstract: A simple index, the degree of sample disturbance, is proposed in this study to quantitatively evaluate the quality of sensitive clay samples based on the concept of void index proposed by Burland in 1990. The degree of ...

Abstract: Diatomite is widely deposited in Oita prefecture of Japan. It has high natural water content but its consolidation yield stress is much higher than the overburden pressure. Oedometer and triaxial consolidated undrained ...

Abstract: Triaxial consolidation undrained shear tests are performed on both undisturbed and remolded Ariake clays to investigate the undrained shear strength behavior. When the applied confining stress is larger than the triaxial ...

Abstract: Roadways with low embankments may undergo considerable postconstruction settlement under traffic loads, which can significantly threaten roadway safety. This study aimed to investigate the dynamic response of a low embankment ...
