Development of a New Ring Shear Apparatus for Investigating the Critical State of Sands
… behavior of sands pertinent to liquefaction and critical state soil mechanics using an improved ring shear apparatus designed and constructed at the University of Illinois. Undrained/constant volume and drained triaxial compression and ring shear tests (sheared to about 30 m of shear …

Rate Effect Behaviour of Different Clays from High Speed Triaxial Element Testing
… stresses to consider the impact of soil state and it was identified that rate effects increase with moisture content. These rate effects were shown to lead to increasing soil strength, reducing pore pressures and expanding yield envelopes. The overconsolidation ratio (OCR) was found to …

The influence of state on the capacity of driven piles in sands
… of the thesis was to study the influence of state on the capacity of driven piles in sand. The work was prompted by findings of recent laboratory based research on the mechanics of granular soils (Coop & Lee, 1993 and Jovicic & Coop, 1997) which showed that, as for clays, a principal …

Mechanical behaviour of compacted decomposed granite soil
… that the soil conforms to the basic features of critical state soil mechanics, although particle crushing takes place during loading. A unique normal compression line, critical state line and the state boundary surface have been identified. This verifies the application of critical state soil …

Assessment of the impact of climate change on an instrumented embankment: an unsaturated soil mechanics approach
… built with soil material in an unsaturated state that is exposed to the climate. The BIONICS project (BIOlogical and eNgineering Impacts of Climate change on Slopes) aims to investigate how climate change will affect the serviceability and safety of earth structures. Part of the BIONICS …
