Numerical modeling, characterization and monitoring of the seasonal behavior of expansive clays
… with the swelling and shrinking of expansive clays represent a major cause of damage to buildings, roads, and pipelines. The processes that give rise to these movements involve complex ground-atmosphere interactions (due to combined effects of infiltration and evaporation), combined with …

Negative skin friction on single piles in clay subjected to direct and indirect loading
… and indirect loading. The pile is embedded in saturated clay. The clay is subjected to surcharge pressure for generating indirect loading on the pile. The soil is assumed to behave as a linearly elastic perfectly plastic material with a yield function defined by the Mohr-Coulomb equation. The …

Cyclic deformation of a clay
… to failure were conducted on remoulded, fully saturated clay triaxial specimens. Electrical transducers coupled with automatic recording equipment were used to measure pore-pressure, axial load and deformation. The effects of strain amplitude and stress history on the peak shear stresses, the …

Statnamic Lateral Loading Testing of Full-Scale 15 and 9 Group Piles in Clay
… 9 and 15 driven hollow pipe piles were tested in saturated clay at the Salt Lake City Airport in July of 2002. The 9-pile group (3x3 configuration) was separated at 5.65 pile diameters and the 15-pile group (3x5 configuration) was separated at 3.92 pile diameters. The testing consisted of five …

Numerical simulation and field verification of inclined piezocone penetration test in cohesive soils
… the commercial finite element code ABAQUS. The saturated clay is modeled as a two-phase material and the effective stress principle is used to describe its behavior. A frictional contact interface utilizing Mohr-Coulomb's theory was chosen to represent interactions between the surface of the …

Testing and constitutive modelling of saturated interfaces in dynamic soil-structure interaction.
… experiments are conducted on remolded clay-steel interfaces under undrained conditions and a constant normal stress. Also, a constitutive model for the stress-strain-pore-pressure behavior of cohesive soil interfaces under dynamic loading is developed using the new unified disturbed …

Terramechanics of Saturated Clays: Assessing Tire Performance Through Experimental and Numerical Approaches
… particularly in the challenging terrain of saturated clays. Modeling cohesive soils with high water content is challenging due to their low shear strength and highly deformable nature, necessitating systematic consideration in both material modeling and numerical techniques. Saturated clay …

Laboratory Self-Weight Consolidation Testing of Dredged Material Analyzed Using a One-Dimensional Finite Strain Consolidation Method
<p>Research has shown that the properties which govern the consolidation of dredged material are best determined using a one-dimensional finite strain consolidation theory. This method requires a complete relationship between void ratio and effective stress for all expected void ratios in a dredged …
