Maximum Tensile Strength of Sand - Coal Fly Ash - Lime Blends for Varying Curing Period and Temperature

December 01, 2018

The pozzolanic reactions, responsible for the resistance of soil-lime blends, are endothermic. As such, increasing the curing temperature in turn increases the strength of lime-stabilized soil. Recent research has shown that there is a maximum limit to the resistance of a specimen, based on its curing time. This study aims to predict the maximum tensile...

Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) Relative Density Correlations for Sands

May 14, 2019

The dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) is a widely used in-situ device to determine the engineering properties of soils. This paper reports a meta-analysis of laboratory calibration studies to establish a relationship between the rate of penetration and relative density for sands. Fourteen (14) different sands from different geographic and geological setti...

Soil Classification System from Cone Penetration Test Data Applying Distance-Based Machine Learning Algorithms

July 08, 2019
Most work from the literature dedicated to soil classification systems from cone penetration test (CPT) data are based on simple two-dimensional charts. One alternative approach is using machine learning (ML) to produce new soil classification systems or to reproduce existing ones. The available studies within this research field can be considered limited, once ...

Geological-Geotechnical Characterization of Slopes Belonging to the Serra do Mar Paranaense, Brazil

July 08, 2019
An extensive campaign of field and laboratory tests were performed on samples of residual soils and colluviums present in the morphoscultural sub-unit comprising Serra do Mar Paranaense located in Southern Brazil. The geotechnical investigations included the physical characterization, in situ hydraulic conductivity and the mechanical behavior of the soils, by me...
