<p>In this paper, cyclic triaxial loading tests were conducted on specimens of soft clay with varying cyclic stresses and frequencies to investigate the performance of soft soil subgrade subjected to cyclic loading. The laboratory results indicate that given ...

<p>Several large-scale laboratory tests were conducted on multi interface geomembrane liner specimens to assess damage effects from static pressure, cyclic loading, and large displacement static shear. The specimens consisted of compacted subgrade soil, a ...

<p>In this study, oil containing sand was subjected to loading in a cyclic triaxial test system. The sand was poorly graded and fine grained, typical of that found in southern Taiwan. Tests were conducted on the pure sand, sand with an oil content of 10% by ...

<p>Samples of saturated loose sand were tested under bi-directional cyclic loading to characterize liquefaction and cyclic failure, by using an advanced soil static and dynamic universal triaxial and torsional shear apparatus.</p>

<p>Based on conceptual frameworks of soil behavior and published experimental data related to stress and strain thresholds, alternative cyclic strain regime divisions and the cyclic strain thresholds that represent the change in soil behavior are proposed. ...

Triaxial testing has been used for many years by geotechnical engineers, to monitor the response of soils to varying stress conditions. Similarly, Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA) has been tested, using triaxial systems, to determine the reaction of the material to both ...

<p>The purpose of the study described herein was to develop rational guidelines and analytical procedures for evaluating the potential for liquefaction or cyclic failure of low-plasticity silts and clays during earthquake loading.</p>

This paper presents new correlations for assessment of the likelihood of initiation (or “triggering”) of soil liquefaction. These new correlations eliminate several sources of bias intrinsic to previous, similar correlations, and provide greatly reduced overall ...

Contrary to many laboratory investigations, common empirical correlations from in situ tests consider that the increase in the percentage of fines leads to an increase of the cyclic liquefaction resistance of sands. This paper draws upon the integrated Critical ...

<p>This paper is about the prediction of the cumulative settlement of soils with increasing number of load cycles.</p>
