This paper presents the findings of a laboratory investigation of the thermomechanical
behaviour of clayey soils. The tests were performed on reconstituted and natural clayey soils …

This paper is an overview of the mechanical and hydraulic behaviour and properties of
natural soils and soft rocks, from soft clays to chalk. It is based on Critical State Soil …

Thesis evaluates effects of anisotropy, bonding and viscosity of soft sensitive Perniö clay.
These key features were examined in relation to sample disturbance, strain-rate, and stress …

The clay found in Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, is known to be very soft and also to have
very low specific weight. After 17 years from the execution of a landfill on a clay deposits in …

ABSTRACT In the Norwegian Sea, sea-bottom temperatures can be as low as–1.9° C in
water depths greater than 1000m. In other deepwater areas, such as the Gulf of Guinea and …

The effect of temperature on soil behavior is gaining importance as energy foundations are
utilized for heating and cooling of buildings as well as for deicing of bridge decks in the …

Theoretical soil mechanics started with consolidation theory in the early 19th century
(Terzaghi & Frohlich 1936). Many settlement and soil deformation problems were solved …
