... such as highways. In the Xuzhou district along Lianyungang-Xuzhou highway of Jiangsu province, the SASW method was used to assess liquefaction potential and compared with SPT test results (Table1). In the table, critical shear wave velocity Vscr is based on the formula developed by Geotechnical Engineering Code...

... through sample taking and performance of penetration tests. Test results were averaged over borings and over depth. These tests showed significant improvement of soil conditions and reduction of the liquefaction potential. Based on the results a preloading time before construction of permanent structures...

... in Japan, may be utilized as a material for lightening by mixing with soil. The aim of this study is to investigate the compression and direct shear properties of a mixture of sand and heat compressed and crushed EPS (HCCE) for possible use as a light weight fill material. The test results showed...

... undrained condition. From the test results it is found out that the pore water pressure increased with compression and decreased with expansion, however that when the expansion increased, the pore water pressure increases again regardless of volume change. We can explain this phenomenon with the different...

... was established to check on the quality of vertical drains. The methods and procedure of quality control tests of both hydraulic and mechanical parameters of prefabricated vertical drain are described in this paper. The tests results and the factors affecting the resultant parameters of PVD are discussed...

... instrumented with strain gages and load cells to identify load distribution in the piles. The piles were tested under a vertical load of 9 MN that is limit load for shaft material. Test results showed that end grouting improves load-settlement performance of bored pile. The ultimate load of the test pile...

... initial void ratio, the undrained shear behavior of samples with different loess contents at loose and medium-dense states was presented and discussed. Basing on the tests results, effects of loess contents on the peak and residual shear strengths are examined. It was found that adding loess into the host...

... ABSTRACT: Analysis and interpretation of flow and instability of sloping soil masses due to rainfall are made using triaxial compression test results. In this study, anisotropically consolidated undrained triaxial compression tests are carried out on two soils, Omigawa silty sand and Jamuna...

... of the specimens are reproduced as same as these conditions in situ. And based on the shear strengths obtained from the test results, stability analysis of the slope under unsaturated state is carried out. This method is typical one that has been used in practice. But when water content in situ varies, we must...

As shown in the soil box test result, the system measuring the resistance of soil has the capability of detecting the leak points. INTRODUCTION Concern for subsurface soil and groundwater contamination has become a major environmental issue. Soil...

The liquid limit of PMS is high (132.5 and the compaction test results indicated optimum moisture content of 74% (Fig. 3). Also, the organic content of PMS is quite high (63.7 As highlighted by Kraus...
