Download or read book A Study of the Shear Strength of Normally Consolidated Ecuadorian Varved Clay and Its Sensitivity to Remolding written by James Andrew Ball and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consolidated-undrained (CU) triaxial compression tests, with pore pressure measurement, were employed in the study of the shear strength characteristics or normally consolidated varved clay from Guayaquil, Ecuador. Undisturbed samples were tested to obtain values of undrained shear strength, the effective stress envelope, stress-strain relationships and pore pressure build up. The mineralogical composition of the samples was determined through X-ray Diffraction and Thermogravimetric Analysis techniques. CU tests for remolded samples provided data for a comparison of undrained shear strengths and an evaluation of sensitivity.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and dis seminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the ac tivity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volume were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 22 (thesis year 1977) a total of 10,658 theses titles from 28 Canadian and 227 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for theses titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 22 reports theses submitted in 1977, on occasion, certain universities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Download or read book Simple Methodology to Obtain Critical State Parameters of Remolded Clays Under Normally Consolidated Conditions Using the Fall Cone Test written by M. M. Farias and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The falling cone is widely used as a laboratory test to determine the liquid limit for the characterization of clay soils. However, remolded undrained shear strength and deformability and strength parameters of critical state models can also be estimated. The objective of this paper is to show a simple methodology to determine these important parameters for engineering simulations. Controlled laboratory tests were carried out on kaolin clay samples using a cone with 30° of tip angle and 30 g of mass. Mini-vane tests were also performed to determine the remolded undrained shear strength of the samples. The experimental results were used to calibrate the Hansbo cone factor, K, from which it is possible to relate the undrained shear strength and the cone penetration for different water contents. The study shows that a calibrated cone and the proposed methodology may be used to estimate strength and deformability parameters for preliminary stages of design involving remolded clays under normal consolidation conditions in a quick way and at very low cost.
Download or read book Comparison of Undrained Shear Strength in Anisotropically and Isotropically Consolidated Clay written by Robert T. Donaghe and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A series of R-triaxial compression tests was performed on normally consolidated and overconsolidated specimens of lacustrine clay consolidated both isotropically and anisotropically. Undrained shear strength su and the effective angle of internal friction for normally consolidated specimens were practically the same for anisotropically and isotropically consolidated specimens; however, the apparent angle of internal friction of the anisotropically consolidated specimens was greater than that of the isotropically consolidated specimens. Strength envelopes were curved in the overconsolidated range. The pore-pressure parameter A and axial strain at the maximum deviator stress were much smaller for anisotropically consolidated specimens. (Modified author abstract).
