Abstract: Cementation effects are studied on the basis of three series of drained triaxial compression tests on compacted soil, soil‐cement, and mortar. The frictional materials have the same gradation curve and the same water ...

Abstract: Benchmarks are typically regarded as stable points to provide references for elevations. In areas with expansive soils, special techniques are necessary to provide benchmarks that are free from ground movements. To prevent ...

Abstract: The design of pier foundations in expansive soils is an important and challenging aspect of geotechnical engineering. Established methods for pier analysis include rigid and elastic methods. These methods have certain ...
