Rate Effects in Fine Grained Soils
… to a wide range of constant strain rates in monotonic triaxial compression testing. Each test is conducted under drained conditions to observe the behaviour of soils as they transition from a drained response at lower strain rates, through to an undrained or viscous response at higher strain …

Geotechnical Characterisation of Pumiceous Soils for Liquefaction Assessment
… research, laboratory experiments, such as cyclic/monotonic triaxial tests and bender elements, were performed on high-quality undisturbed and reconstituted pumiceous samples taken from sites in Waikato Basin and Bay of Plenty to investigate the geotechnical behaviour of natural pumiceous (NP) …

Performance of Silty Sands and their Use in Flexible Airfield Pavement Design
… from increased fines content. Starting with monotonic triaxial results combined with strength-dilatancy methods it was shown that prediction of shear strength in a silty-sand could be improved by 13%. Incorporating this finding into repeat load triaxial tests, the transitions between elastic, …

Liquefaction Susceptibility of Uncemented Calcareous Sands From Puerto Rico by Cyclic Triaxial Testing
… A series of isotropically consolidated undrained monotonic and cyclic triaxial tests were performed using the Playa Santa sand from Porto Rico. Playa Santa sand is a poorly graded calcareous clean beach sand composed of angular particles with large intra-granular voids. A series of consolidated …

Performance evaluation of unconventional aggregates from primary and recycled sources for construction platform and low volume road applications
… significant particle reorientation during the monotonic triaxial strength testing. Despite exhibiting higher modulus values, 100% RAP accumulated higher permanent deformation compared to the virgin crushed dolomite. Quality control tests conducted with nuclear density gauge during the …

Biocementation of Road Foundations: Element Testing, Physical Modelling, and Micro-Scale Characterisation
… to well-graded granular materials. A series of monotonic triaxial tests were conducted to examine the shear behaviour of uncemented and biocemented aggregates. The observed changes in stress-strain responses, strength and stiffness evolution, and stress dilatancy are consistent with those …
