This experimental study focused on cyclic degradation and cyclic pore-water pressure response of high-plasticity compacted clay under different dynamic loading and initial static shear stress conditions. The strain-controlled ...

Liquefaction and settlement of sandy soils cause significant damage during earthquakes. In this research, cohesionless soils of Kutch region with history of large earthquakes are explored. Twenty-six soil samples were ...

The present study evaluates the effect of stress history and loading conditions on dynamic behavior and failure characteristics of low plasticity cohesive soil. A series of two-way strain controlled cyclic triaxial tests ...

The recently proposed, KAZE image feature detection and description algorithm (Alcantarilla et al. in Proceedings of the British machine vision conference. LNCS, vol 7577, no 6, pp 13.1–13.11, 2013) offers significantly ...

Fly ash is a by-product of coal combustion from thermal power plant. It comprises of hollow spherical silt size particles with low specific gravity. The increased use of fly ash in highway/railway embankment construction ...

Mica particles are flaky and layered in nature with relatively low hardness as compared to quartz particles. Micaceous soil with more than 10% mica is generally not recommended for pavements due to low compactability and ...

Cohesive soil undergoes cyclic softening when experiences the dynamic loading conditions. Evaluation of strength loss under such loading conditions is essential for soil stability analysis. The present study investigates ...
