Multiphysics Assessment of Mexico City Soils: Structure and Thixotropy

Abstract

AbstractThe unique properties of Mexico City soils arise from their complex lacustrine–alluvial–volcanic origin. This study employed multiphysics techniques to characterize both intact and remolded specimens: stiffness and compressibility measurements ...Practical ApplicationsThe classical study of fine-grained soils using oedometer cells focuses on the time-dependent vertical deformation of the specimen. Greater insight can be gained by testing both undisturbed and remolded specimens, conducting selected ...
