Fracture Behaviour including Size Effect of Cement Stabilised Rammed Earth
(2018-01-30)
Rammed earth is a monolithic construction formed by compacting processed soil in progressive layers. Rammed earth is used for the construction of load bearing walls, floors, sub base material in roadways, airport runways, ...
Shaking Table Tests to Study the Influence of Ground Motion, Soil and Site Parameters on the Initiation of Liquefaction in Sands
(2018-01-12)
Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which soil loses a large percentage of its shear resistance due to increased pore water pressure and flows like a liquid. Undrained cyclic loading conditions during earthquakes cause ...
Tip Resistance Of A Miniature Cone Penetrometer Using Triaxial Apparatus For Clean And Silty Sand
(2010-06-09)
The static cone penetration tests are quite extensively used for carrying out in-situ geotechnical investigations both for onshore and offshore sites especially where the soil mass is expected to comprise of either soft ...
Endochronic Constitutive Model for Sands and Its Application to Geotechnical Problems
(2018-05-01)
The introductions of large digital computers in the field of engineering have rendered possible the solution of a wide variety of problems without the need to violate the equilibrium and compatibility. The major requirement ...
Role of Composition, Structure and Physico-Chemical Environment on Stabilisation of Kuttanad Soil
(2018-04-12)
Soft soil deposits of coastal regions and lowland areas pose many geotechnical problems but it is indispensable to utilize these grounds to meet the growing demand for infrastructure with ever increasing urbanization and ...
Finite Element Limit Analysis for Solving Different Axisymmetric Stability Problems in Geomechanics : Formulations and Solutions
(2017-11-15)
Limit analysis is a very powerful tool to find accurate solutions of several geotechnical stability problems. This analysis is based on the theory of the plasticity and it provides two limiting solutions within lower and ...
Effect of Cyclic Strain Path And Vibration Cycles on Shear Modulus And Damping of Sand
(2017-09-23)
The soil strata is often subjected to various kinds of vibrations such as that caused by earthquakes, water waves, traffic loads, wind power plants, construction related equipments, pile driving and vibratory machines. The ...
