Abstract: One-way cyclic loading induced by traffic loads will give rise to the cyclic variation of normal stress components of all three directions, including one vertical and two horizontal ones. The cyclic horizontal normal stress ...

Abstract: The role of microfabric in the undrained cyclic behavior of kaolin clay is a topic of considerable interest but is yet to be fully understood. This paper presents new experimental data and analysis to address the topic. ...

Abstract: The constant shear drained (CSD) test is considered an appropriate test to simulate the instability behavior of soils in slopes under water infiltration conditions or lateral stress relief. However, contradiction of the ...
