... ABSTRACT: Results of piezocone penetration tests (CPTUs) were used to evaluate the state of consolidation of clay and the densification of sand at a reclamation site. Both the cone resistance and the penetration pore pressure from CPTU were used to estimate the vertical yield stress...

... parameters are defined to explain the non-linear pullout response. Comparative parametric studies were carried out for a range of relative stiffness and bond resistance. Normalised load - displacement relations and the variations of pullout force and displacements with distance, are expressed in finite...

..., local facing stability and global/overall stability based on the limit equilibrium method of analysis. The internal stability analysis is performed by assuming that the active earth pressure acting on the wall facing units is supported by the pullout resistance mobilized by friction along the steel bar...

Test results revealed that the shale rock has a small angle of external friction, far smaller than the angle of shearing resistance, and its bedding planes at failure sites make a positive acute angle with the horizontal plane.
