The mechanical behaviour of soft clays under vibration loading from vehicle traffic
… to investigate the effects of vibrations on the rate dependent behaviour of soft clays, a new vibrational slump test has been devised. The results are used to explain the processes involved during the deformation of a clay sample under its own weight. It is seen that the variations of the …

Micromechanical Aspects of Aging in Granular Soils
… time after deposition or densification, during a process commonly known as aging. Soil properties reported to change during aging include the small strain modulus and stiffness, penetration resistance, liquefaction resistance, and pile setup. Different hypotheses have been proposed to explain the …

Modeling Macro-scale Clay Behavior at Micro-scale Clay Particle Interfaces
… - velocity relationship can be described by the Rate Process Theory (RPT). This research investigated the use of the RPT for analyzing sliding at individual clay particle contacts during secondary compression to describe macro-scale clay behavior. The novel micro-scale friction experiments …
