A numerical model to simulate the mechanical behavior of soils was introduced in Part 1 of this paper (also published in this issue). Detailed information about the analytical model were presented, where the critical state theory for soil
mechanics was considered in the context of the elastoplastic formulation. Moreover, an efficient numeric...
. One of the most important morphological characteristics of expansive soil is contracting and fissuring during
drying and swelling during wetting. Soils that change volume when inundated with water require extra care, whether they
are used in agriculture, engineering or both. In this paper, conventional and suction-controlled oe...
A case study describing the experience in modeling and designing the process of construction of the Rio Grande
Breakwater on soft clay deposits is summarized in this paper. Field performance during and after embankment construction was monitored with inclinometers, magnetometers and electrical piezometers providing the necessary information ...
The article presents a study on the influence of exposure conditions on strength and absorption in soil stabilized
with lime and rice husk ash. A soil classified as A-4 and CL, known as Red-Yellow Podzol, a hydrated lime and a
crystal-type burnt rice husk ashes were used throughout the study. The laboratory testing program encomp...
