However, their application in soft and very soft clays requires a good understanding of the fundamentals of ground improvement techniques suited to the problem as well as the actual field behavior when implemented on a real scale. This paper describes some of the most widely used ground improvement techniques in the context of very soft clays in Brazil. The techniques described in the paper use prefabricated vertical drains (PVD) such as vacuum preloading; or combine PVD and rigid inclusion, such as CPR grouting; or are purely column-like elements such as piled embankments (including those executed with the deep mixing technique, DSM); or combine column-like elements with the drainage function, such as stone columns and geosynthetic encased columns; or use cementitious binders such as shallow soil mixing. The paper reference condition is a soft clay foundation in which no strengthening is implemented, such as, an embankment with basal reinforcement or soft clay with vertical prefabricated drains, or the use of vacuum preloading to speed up the consolidation rate. The applications of the ground improvement techniques are illustrated by case histories, numerical analyses, or physical models. Different types of measurements are used to evaluate the performance of each technique, including settlements, horizontal displacements, excess pore pressures, embankment applied stresses, stress concentration factors, and clay strength following the ground treatment. The settlement improvement factor β, the ratio between the settlements for untreated and treated conditions, is shown to be a suitable parameter to assess the degree of improvement imposed in the soft foundation by ranking the various methods in increased order of strengthening effect.","PeriodicalId":43687,"journal":{"name":"Soils and Rocks","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43104008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, the use of industrial wastes in this process can bring significant benefits to the environment and savings in natural resources. This work aims to evaluate the implications of incorporating porcelain polishing waste (PPW) and hydrated lime on the mechanical properties of an aeolian dune sand from the city of Natal/RN. Tests of unconfined compressive strength and split tensile strength were performed on compacted soil specimens with different contents of PPW (10%, 20% and 30%), hydrated lime (3%, 5% and 7%) and relative densities (25%, 50% and 75%). To evaluate the effects of each factor, the Response Surface Methodology with Central Composite Design was used. The results have shown that all three factors have a positive effect on the response variables. The highest strengths were obtained in regions combining high values of relative density and PPW content and an optimum lime content was found. An inversely proportional correlation and good fit to the experimental data was obtained between the strength values and the porosity/binder index (η / Biv). The strength gains were attributed to densification of the soil structure and cementation of the particles by the compounds formed in the reaction between lime and PPW. The results also showed an increase in the strength with curing time, indicating a pozzolanic activity of the mixtures.","PeriodicalId":43687,"journal":{"name":"Soils and Rocks","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46434131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In geophysics, seismic or electromagnetic waves are commonly used to provide tomographic information. In the geotechnical area, seismic tomography is emerging as a promising technique that can be used to determine the spatial variability of shear wave velocities and hence the small strain stiffness of geomaterials, especially when used in the centrifuge where in-situ stress conditions can be mimicked closely. This paper describes the development of a seismic tomography technique in the centrifuge. This technology can be used to image variations of soil stiffness under various mechanical, chemical and physical conditions. The paper describes the various components of the system, which includes arrays of small-size bender elements, hardware and software used to transmit, receive and acquire the shear wave signals during a centrifuge test. The paper illustrates the performance of the system at both 1g and in the centrifuge.

The present study aims at stabilizing BR with the combination of lime (L) and graphene oxide (GO) in suitable proportions and investigating their impact on improvement in engineering properties (viz., density, unconfined compressive strength (UCS), dispersion, and durability). Lime of 2-10% and GO of 0.05-0.1% dosages (% weight of BR) are selected for experimentation purpose. Results demonstrate that L and GO together, not the individual additive, is effective to stabilize BR. A substantial improvement in UCS from 710 kPa of raw BR to 3890 kPa after treating with 10% L and 0.1% GO with 60 days curing period has been observed. 6% L and 0.05% GO for strength only in the short-term, and 10% L and 0.05% GO in durability aspect in the long-term are found as optimum dosages. Drastic decline in turbidity from 453 to 83 NTU establishes that L (6%) and GO (0.05%) addition completely alleviates dispersion behavior in BR. Though GO addition is trivial, its effect on strength and durability enhancement of BR is significant. Cementitious gel formations and bonding mechanism leading to particle aggregations are evidenced as the reason behind the improvement in strength and durability of BR. To verify the applicability of amended BR, the obtained findings are compared vis-à-vis with standards, which illustrated that the amended BR could be an excellent resource material in road construction, especially in base or sub-base courses.","PeriodicalId":43687,"journal":{"name":"Soils and Rocks","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43508334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This high generation has motivated studies concerning the disposition of WFS, which in turn can be used for road subbases. Nevertheless, paving applications are still limited, especially regarding the behavior of WFS when added to a mixture of crushed materials. Hence, the objective of this study was to evaluate WFS reuse in mixtures with crushed materials, applied as granular layers of granulometric stabilized pavements. The crushed materials and WFS were characterized by size distribution, physical aspects, and different mixtures, and later submitted to mechanical testing. Initial tests were utilized to define mixtures (crushed material + WFS) that fulfilled the technical requirements for road subbases. California bearing ratio and resilient modulus tests indicated that WFS additions up to 12% for “A” grading improved the bearing capacity of the mixture; while in “E” grading, WFS additions up to 38% resulted in no expressive improvement in bearing characteristics. Thus, for both gradings, a structure with high density, strength, and low susceptibility to deformations can be used for road subbase construction without technical issues. Finally, the highest WFS content (38%) mixture was environmentally classified as a Class II A non-inert waste, indicating its environmental viability for road applications.","PeriodicalId":43687,"journal":{"name":"Soils and Rocks","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41356342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The world is aiming to promote and implement the concept of nearly zero energy consumption in the building sector. Shallow geothermal energy systems have huge potential to meet the heating and cooling demand of a building with low carbon emissions. However, the shallow geothermal system exploration rate and its global contribution to renewable energy used in the buildings sector is yet relatively low. Therefore, this study explores specific barriers which hinder the promotion of shallow geothermal energy systems through a systematic review of the literature. The study was carried out by investigating published papers indexed in Scopus and Web of science core collection databases. The selected papers are focused on shallow geothermal energy systems and barriers to their promotion. Only review and research articles types were included in the analysis and constrained to the topic of closed-loop shallow geothermal energy systems. This system’s promotion has been influenced by the lack of legislation, little knowledge about the conductivity of soil and by high initial investment cost at its topmost. The least influencing barrier is considered to be the heating and cooling efficiency of shallow geothermal energy systems.","PeriodicalId":43687,"journal":{"name":"Soils and Rocks","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49366129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To develop the proposed models, experimental results were obtained from large-scale direct shear tests performed on different types of rock discontinuities and boundary conditions. The input variables of the proposed neuro-fuzzy models are the normal boundary stiffness, the ratio of fill thickness to asperity height, the initial normal stress, the joint roughness coefficient, the uniaxial compressive strength of the intact rock, the basic friction angle of the intact rock, the friction angle of the infill, and the shear displacement. The proposed models for dilation and shear stress provided results that fitted satisfactorily the experimental data, and the analyses of their performances indicated that they can represent the influence of the input variables on the shear behavior parameters of the rock discontinuities. The results from the neuro-fuzzy systems developed are also closer to the experimental data than those estimated by using traditional analytical methodologies existing in Rock Mechanics. This occurs because once considering the uncertainty of the input data, a more representative shear behavior prediction can be made by the neuro-fuzzy models.","PeriodicalId":43687,"journal":{"name":"Soils and Rocks","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48995475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its main innovation is the use of high mechanical resistance steel pipes (N80 class) for drilling and as a structural component of the micropiles. The pipes have special manchette valves uniformly spaced to allow neat cement grout injection into the soil. Two instrumented micropiles with 0.3 m diameter (after injection) and lengths of 19.4 m and 21 m were installed at Experimental Site III of the University of Campinas (Unicamp). The geological profile of this site presents a sandy clay surface layer (porous and collapsible) followed by a layer of sandy silt (diabase residual soil). The piles were subjected to compressive slow maintained loading tests and were instrumented along their depth with strain gages. No geotechnical failure was observed during the load test. The maximum load achieved by the MC1 and MC2 micropiles were 2.210 kN and 2.470 kN, respectively. The load test data were extrapolated to estimate the ultimate geotechnical pile capacity. The extrapolated geotechnical failure load was above 2.500 kN for both micropiles and similar to those estimated by the Federal Highway Administration FHWA (2005) load capacity method. It was verified that (1) the pile material undergoes creep under stress above 25 MPa on the transversal section of the pile and (2) the debonding effect during the loading process. The micropiles showed higher values of skin friction compared with other piles installed in the same geological-geotechnical context (tropical soil).","PeriodicalId":43687,"journal":{"name":"Soils and Rocks","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48943769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By comparing forecasts with actual mean particle size values and predictions based on one of the most widely used fragmentation estimation techniques in the blasted literature, the capacity of the generated models may be established. The statistical parameters, actual vs predicted curve, Taylor diagram, error bar, and developed discrepancy ratio are used to analysis the performance of models. A comparative study has been carried out between the developed RVM, GPR, and MPMR. The results show the developed models have the capability for prediction of X50.
