<p>Results from two sets of laboratory test programmes on sand-salt mixtures in which the salt fractions, of different amounts and size, are dissolved are brought together to gather insight into the mechanics of mass loss and its controlling factors. The test ...

<p>This Lecture will re-appraise the normal soil mechanics theory by contrasting it with the alternative theory of soil mechanics.</p>

Laboratory and field measurements of the small-strain shear modulus of a Piedmont residual soil were compared to gain a better understanding of mechanisms affecting stiffness. Resonant column tests were performed to study influences of void ratio, overconsolidation ...
