Present investigation intends to examine the mechanical behaviour of compacted coal fly ash – carbide lime mixes to assess their potential use as a sub-base/base material for low volume roads. This study plans to compute the impact of carbide lime content and dry density on the properties (durability and strength) of compacted coal fl...
View ArticleIn this paper, two new state variables are included in a conventional elastoplastic model, Modified Cam-clay, to incorporate the influence of pore size distribution changes in the mechanical behavior of unsaturated soils. The first state variable allows capturing the influence of large pore changes in the mechanical behavior, and is controlled by an evo...
View ArticleThe role of roots in shear strength has been a matter of research and also uncertainties. An investigation was conducted to identify and quantify the contribution of the roots of vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides) to the shear strength of soils, by means of triaxial testing. Samples were prepared from 4-inch PVC pipe molds, whe...
