The mechanical properties of a high plasticity expansive clay from South Africa are reported.
The experimental programme considered wetting after loading tests followed by one …

Few studies have focused on the influence of particle shape on the mechanical properties of
cemented sand. To address this lack of information, this study investigated the influence of …

In geotechnical projects involving soft soils, cement-mixed soils are an excellent way to
improve the mechanical behaviour and engineering performance of soils. The water-to …

The practice of soil treatment using cement and zeolite is an approach that can be widely
used in soil stabilization particularly in road construction, as a support layer for shallow …

Post-liquefaction response of lightly cemented sands during an earthquake may change and
become similar to uncemented sands due to bonding breakage. In the current study, the …

Cement stabilization is a useful and widely adopted method to improve the engineering
properties of soils. However, characterization of the unconfined compressive strength, a …

Measurement of elastic wave velocities allows engineers to effectively characterize and
monitor the stiffness and strength development of the cemented soils. Several correlations …

There are relatively few experimental studies on the hydromechanical and critical state
behaviours of unsaturated silty sand. In this paper, suction-controlled, consolidated, drained …

有效应力参数的合理确定是非饱和土有效应力研究的重要内容. 然而, 现有的有效应力参数未能
较好地考虑孔隙水的微观赋存形态对有效应力的影响. 为此, 分析了孔隙水的微观赋存形态 …

In this paper, a series of suction-controlled triaxial tests were conducted to investigate the
hydromechanical behaviour of an unsaturated kaolin mixture. The studied variables …
