The earthen final covers based on the water storage and release principle have a promising application in the landfills in arid and semi-arid areas. Most of the previous studies concentrate on the rainwater infiltration ...

The parameters obtained from the piezocone penetration tests (CPTU) have been widely used for soil profiling and geostratigraphy over the decades. In this study, large amount of CPTU soundings and parallel drilling borin...

The unified hardening model (UH model) proposed by Yao et al. is the constitutive model which can consider the influence of the complex stress path and stress history on the deformation and strength of clays reasonably. ...

The design and construction of strengthening of a building in soft soil area is taken as an example. The reasons for the settlement and the inclination of this project are analyzed in combination with the monitoring data...

Based on the field data of soft foundation reinforcement, the variation laws of soil surface settlements, stratified settlements, horizontal displacements, pore water pressures and vacuum degrees are analyzed by use of t...

Plants are sophisticated and intelligent natural construction materials. They can be used for enhancing the stability of shallow soil slopes and minimizing surface erosion. It is evident that the use of plants can be low...

Constructing high-fill embankment over soft soils will lead to a substantial deformation of foundation, therefore it is necessary to strictly monitor the settlement and pore water pressure of the foundation. A high-fill ...

The expansive soils have the tendency to expand in wetting and to shrink in drying. The addition of cement is one of the methods to enhance the engineering properties of such soils. The effects of varying cement contents...

Centrifugal model tests are carried out to simulate the construction and operation of the dike on a soft soil foundation for the purpose of taxiway construction on the seashore. The vertical strip drains are adopted for ...

Sandbag cofferdam applies flexible load on soil foundation. The failure mode and sliding surface of soft soil foundation under sandbag cofferdam should be significantly different from that under rigid base. Aimed to get ...

A small-scale physical modelling system is developed to study the pull-out mechanism of embedded soil nails based on transparent soil and particle image velocimetry (PIV). Four types of soil anchorages, common cylindrica...

IntroductionEffective cation exchange capacity (ECEC) is a key indicator of soil fertility and sustainable soil management assessment in coffee-growing systems.MethodsThis study aimed to identify the principal edaphic an...

The shear modulus and damping ratio of EPS composite soil, as a kind of artificial filling material, are the key parameters to analyze the dynamic stability of embankment. 15 cyclic torsional tests are conducted on the h...

obvious influence on the failure strain than on the initial yield strain. The non-uniform distribution of fine soil has a more significant influence on the initial yield strain than on the failure strain. Key words: fi...

The organic matter is an important symbol of peaty soil which is different from soft clay. The content of organic matter directly affects the physiochemical properties of peaty soil, and further affects its consolidation...

Soil acidity is one of the reasons for corrosion of steel piles. The material deterioration of steel pile foundation served in the acidic soil will affect the safety and durability of pile foundation. In order to underst...

The CU triaxial tests and ring shear tests on interface between steel pipe pile and soil of a kind of intact marine soft clay with medium structure are carried out under influence of shear strain rate, and the variations...

The new airport project in Sanya planned by government of Hainan Province of China, is located at Hongtangwan of Sanya City, that is, to build an offshore airport with an area of a 28 square kilometers. The construction ...

Eight large-scale triaxial tests on coarse-grained soil with different lithologies are carried out. The effects of gradation on strength, deformation, dilatancy and particle breakage characteristics of coarse-grained soi...

Experimental researches on undisturbed soil samples are of great significance for the oil and gas exploitation in South China Sea. The physical and chemical properties of seabed soil in the slope area of South China Sea ...

Based on the actual state of the soil along rail transit in hot and rainy area, the resonant column tests on the soil under wetting and drying circles are conducted to study the stiffness characteristics of residual soil...

In order to study the influence of non-uniform distribution of fine soil on mechanical properties of coarse-grained soil under freeze-thaw cycles, triaxial shear tests are conducted on different specimens with different ...

In order to study the electrical resistivity of oil-contaminated soils, the diesel-contaminated soils and kerosene-contaminated soils with different water contents, oil contents are mixed in the laboratory by hand. The f...

KH2PO4—cement is used to soildify/stabilize the Pb contaminated soil. Leaching tests are conducted to study the leaching characteristics and mechanism of Pb in solidified bodies under acid rain soaking, and the effects...
