RISNew Correlation Equations for Compression Index of Remolded Clays
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Compressibility of a soil mass is among the most important geotechnical properties that is widely used during the design of geotechnical structures. Various regression equations have been proposed by numerous researchers ...
Reduction in Fully Softened Shear Strength of Natural Clays with NaCl Leaching and Its Effect on Slope Stability
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Landslides and slope failures in natural clay-rich materials are frequently observed in coastal areas and other areas where these materials were deposited in a saline water environment. High sodium chloride (NaCl) concentration ...
Dynamic Properties of Lightweight Cellular Concrete for Geotechnical Applications
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Lightweight cellular concrete (LCC) materials have been used in various civil engineering applications for several decades. In this study, the dynamic behavior of LCC materials was evaluated for possible geotechnical ...
Characterization of the Reduction in Undrained Shear Strength in Fine-Grained Soils due to Cyclic Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To evaluate the effect of plasticity characteristics and mineralogical composition on postcyclic shear strength degradation, 18 soils, prepared as different proportions of kaolinite, montmorillonite, and ground quartz, ...

Compaction Characteristics, Unconfined Compressive Strengths, and Coefficients of Permeability of Fine-Grained Soils Mixed with Crumb-Rubber Tire
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, five different weak soils were mixed with five different sizes of crumb rubber in six different proportions and used to understand the influence of the size and quantity of crumb rubber on the compaction ...
Landslide Movement at Lokanthali during the 2015 Earthquake in Gorkha, Nepal
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Gorkha earthquake (Mw=7.8) of April 25, 215, caused widespread damage in the Kathmandu Valley. At a gently sloping site, known as Lokanthali, large ground fissures and tension cracks with vertical offsets in excess of ...
Statistical Examination of the Shear Strength of Frozen and Unfrozen Fine-Grained Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractClimate change causes an increase in the temperature of permafrost. This increases
the amount of unfrozen water in the permafrost soils, which will reduce their shear
strengths. Such reductions may result in the ...
Mechanical Properties of Lightweight Cellular Concrete for Geotechnical Applications
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Lightweight cellular concrete provides many advantages in geotechnical applications, however, its use has been limited because of a lack of understanding of its engineering properties. In this study, laboratory soil tests ...
