Abstract: Stress-strain responses, including small-strain behavior, of Hong Kong completely decomposed granite (CDG) were investigated using triaxial specimens prepared from Mazier samples in a manner in which structure in the soil ...

Abstract: A new gradation equation that can describe the particle-size distribution curves of soils with continuous gradation is presented. The results obtained for a large amount of test data from soil gradations prove that the ...

Abstract: The ballastless track system (BTS) is widely adopted in the construction of high-speed railways (HSRs), in which the vehicle-induced cyclic stresses are evenly transferred to subgrade at a smaller amplitude compared with ...

Abstract: This paper aims to experimentally study the performance of inclined micropiles under dynamic loading conditions. Analysis is performed using data obtained from shaking table tests on a small-scale physical model of micropiles ...

Abstract: AbstractA novel ground improvement technique utilizing combined grid prefabricated horizontal drains (PHDs) and prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) with vacuum preloading is introduced for the treatment of blow-filled ...
