RISConsolidation of Saturated Kaolin Subjected to Intermittent Thermal Loading with Temperature Gradient
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper explores the influence of two thermal loading protocols on the evolutions of stress state and soil consolidation characteristics during subsequent mechanical loading. We employed a specially designed thermal ...
Advancement in Estimation of Undrained Shear Strength through Fall Cone Tests
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Fall cone tests provide simple and rapid estimate of undrained shear strength (su) of fine-grained soils at various water contents. The accuracy of such su estimation depends greatly on the selection of a fall cone factor ...
Closure to “Shaft Resistance and Setup Factors for Piles Jacked in Clay” by Prasenjit Basu, Monica Prezzi, Rodrigo Salgado, and Tanusree Chakraborty

Numerical Implementation of a Stress-Anisotropy Model for Bearing Capacity Analysis of Circular Footings in Clays Prone to Destructuration
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Research indicates the presence of in situ structure of soil skeleton in several natural deposits of clay. However, the effect of such in situ structure and its evolution during loading are rarely accounted for in solution ...
