Assessment of Rate Effects in Piezocone Tests from Poroelastic Cavity Expansion Analysis

September 18, 2018
Cavity expansion solutions are often used in geomechanics modelling to investigate problems such as the bearing capacity of piles or interpretation of cone and pressuremeter tests. Conceived as a simplified approach to capturing the transient flow effects in the soil around an expanding cylinder, a non-linear poroelastic model is formulated in this paper based o...

Behavior of Geosynthetic-Encased Stone Columns in Soft Clay: Numerical and Analytical Evaluations

October 24, 2018
The type of improvement technique that will be applied to a soil beneath an embankment depends on the nature of the problematic soil existing at the site. Soft soils beneath embankments typically present high compressibilities and low shear strengths. In some cases, geosynthetic-encased stone columns (GECs) have shown advantages over other solutions to improve e...

The Performance of a Sand Reinforced with Coconut Fibers Through Plate Load Tests on a True Scale Physical Model

September 18, 2018
The use of recycled materials has experienced a growing global interest in the last decades. Products like natural fibers are being studied to replace synthetic fibers in some applications because they are renewable resources that have a lower cost. Fibers can be used as reinforcement for covers of landfill sites, landfilling over soft soils, and evapotranspirat...

Porosity Changes of Compacted Soil Percolated with Acidic Leachate

October 02, 2018

This paper evaluates porosity changes in compacted soil subjected to acidic leachate percolation through different dry unit weights. The porosity of compacted soil is presented in different nominal porosities or dry unit weights (41.9% and 15.5 kN/m3, 43.8% and 15.0 kN/m³, and 45.7% and 14.5 kN/m³) percolated with a sulfuric acid solut...
