Download or read book Effect of Overburden Pressure on Clay Compressibility written by Ramachandra Phanikumar and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-09 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The total amount of settlement that a structure founded on a clay soil undergoes comprises of immediate (or elastic) and consolidation settlements. In the case of clay soils, amount of consolidation settlement (Sc) is more than that of immediate or elastic settlement (Se). Hence, it is important to correctly estimate the amount of consolidation settlement (Sc). The parameters that influence consolidation settlement of a field soil are initial degree of saturation (S%), void ratio (e) of soil prior to excavation, the amount of overburden pressure removed during trench making ( o), or in other words, the amount of rebound caused in the soil giving rise to final void ratio just before construction and the intensity of loading or the applied pressure ( ). This book presents an experimental study on the effect of above parameters on compressibility characteristics of a clay soil. The different steps undertaken in the field for footing construction are simulated in the laboratory and compressibility studied.

Download or read book Rheology and Soil Mechanics Rh ologie et M canique des Sols written by J. Kravtchenko and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-13 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a long period Soil Mechanics has remained at the semi-empirica stage, and only a few decades ago it has shown a tendency to become a fundamental science. However, this evolution is taking place slowly; in spite of the efforts of numerous research scientists, the very complex rheological laws of soils are still not well known. Even if these laws were elucidated, it would take a long time still to deduce simple rules from them for reliable and convenient use in current practical engineer ing. In the pursuit of these distant aims - and of others more imme diate - fundamental research and applied research are very active, both in Rheology and Soil Mechanics. The complexity of the problems to be solved should incite the laboratory researchers and the engineers to a continuous collaboration. Everyone acknowledges the advantage of these connections although aware of the difficulty of realizing this wish. However, contacts are being made little by little between the repre sentatives of the different branches of Rheology and Soil Mechanics, to the great benefit of science. The bureau of the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (IUTAM), aware of the importance of these two associat ed fields of mechanics, considered it possible to accelerate the natural and necessary processus of their interpenetration by organizing in Grenoble, from 1st to 8th April 1964 an International Symposium on Rheology and Soil Mechanics.

Download or read book Water Content Relationships of a Sensitive Clay Subjected to Cycles of Capillary Pressures written by V. Silvestri and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation carried out to determine the volume change response of a sensitive clay subjected to cycles of air pressure in a pressure plate apparatus. Several clay samples of varying initial water content were used in the test program. It was found that at high air pressures initially soft clay specimens become less compressible than initially stiff clay specimens of comparable water content. In addition, the clay became unsaturated at a water content varying between 25 and 30%.

This book was released on 2018-06-30 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nominated by Tsinghua University as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis, this book investigates the mechanical properties of unsaturated compacted clayey soil, the multi-field coupling consolidation theory of unsaturated soil and its application to a 261.5 m high earth-rockfill dam. It proposes a multi-field coupling analysis method of consolidation, and develops an efficient and practical finite element (FE) program for large-scale complex earth-rockfill dams. The book is primarily intended for researchers studying the multi-field coupling analysis of seepage consolidation.

This book was released on 2024-06-13 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discontinuities such as cracks, fissures, bedding planes, etc. resulting from different geological processes are commonly found in rock masses and often play a critical role in the initiation, propagation, and coalescence of new cracks due to stress redistribution caused by engineering activities and natural disturbances. It is challenging to determine the instability mechanism of jointed rock masses but it is vital for estimating instability disasters in jointed rock engineering.
