Rate Effects in Fine Grained Soils
… 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 rate tests. Where the response of soils is drained or partially …

The cyclic behaviour of sand, from the Prevost model to offshore geotechnics
… of sand observed in laboratory tests. Undrained monotonic and cyclic experiments are addressed. The phase transformation line is a key parameter in the description of its behaviour. The plasticity effects in both loading and unloading, the progressive pore pressure accumulation coupled …

Constitutive Modelling of Shear Localisation in Saturated Dilative Sand
Undrained deformation of dilative sand generates negative excess pore pressure. It enhances the strength which is called dilative hardening. This increased suction is not permanent. The heterogeneity at the grain scale triggers localisations causing local volume changes and associated drainage. The …

Evaluation of cyclic behavior of dense sands under multidirectional loading using centrifuge tests
… correlations to estimate vertical strains from drained and undrained cyclic element tests are available, they do not all explicitly incorporate multidirectional shaking. Moreover, typical drainage conditions in the field may be partially drained while shaking-induced vertical strains accumulate. …

Engineering properties and behavior of silty soils
… stress path, is evaluated. The normalized undrained shear strength ratio (su/sigma′p) ranges from 0.25 to 0.40 in triaxial compression, with corresponding cone factors (Nk(TC)) decreasing from 24 for sandy silt to 14 for clayey silt. Rigidity index (IR) ranges from 70 to 300 and supports …

Ecological Limitations and Potentials of Artificial Aquatic Systems
… Wetlands Inventory only included two within “partially drained/ditched” areas, and none as individual “excavated” features. Others were mis-categorized, but neither database included any highway sampling sites. Despite this limited information about extent, variation and management impact …
