A quicker test could provide savings to the construction industry, particularly for checking the quality of landfill clay liners. An accelerated permeability test has been developed, but the method often underestimates the permeability values compared owing to structural changes in the soil sample. This paper reports on an investigation into the accelerated test to discover if the changes can be limited by using a revised procedure. The accelerated test is assessed and compared with the standard test and a ramp-accelerated permeability test. Four different fine-grained materials are compacted at various water contents to produced analogous samples for testing using the three different methods. Fabric analysis is carried out on specimens derived from post-test samples using mercury intrusion porosimetry and scanning electron microscopy to assess the effects of testing on soil ...","PeriodicalId":45150,"journal":{"name":"Geotechnical Engineering","volume":"41 1","pages":"422-438"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1680/JGEEN.14.00147","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67479486","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 the case of thick deposits of marine clay, it is often necessary to accelerate the consolidation process of the clay using prefabricated vertical drains. In such projects, the degree of improvement has to be ascertained to confirm whether the soil has achieved the required degree of consolidation before the removal of surcharge. This analysis can be carried out by means of observational methods for which the ground behaviour is continuously monitored from the date of instrument installation.

This enabled cone penetrometer profiles to be compared directly with a suite of rapid geophysical survey techniques, which included electromagnetic (EM31 and EM34), electrical resistivity surveys and shear wave profiles, calibrated against the same soil profile. From this it was possible to determine the variability and extent of a collapsible loessic soil across the entire test site, thus demonstrating that appropriately calibrated geophysical techniques can provide a rapid indication of the presence at depth of a potentially unstable soil.","PeriodicalId":45150,"journal":{"name":"Geotechnical Engineering","volume":"161 1","pages":"3-17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2008-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1680/GENG.2008.161.1.3","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67402096","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}

Using the deflection data obtained from the test, elastic modulus values of the track substructure required to build a numerical model of the track can be determined using a procedure known as back-analysis. The numerical model so calibrated can be used to determine the effect of the traffic loads on the stresses, strains and deformations in the railway track system, and is an important component of an analytical approach to track substructure design. In this paper, the use of dynamic finite-element analysis to back-analyse the material properties of the railway substructure from FWD deflection data has been demonstrated by means of an example. The numerical approach presented is the rational method for FWD-based inverse analysis and condition evaluation of ballasted railway tracks, and becomes practicable owing to continued advances in finite-element and computer technologies.","PeriodicalId":45150,"journal":{"name":"Geotechnical Engineering","volume":"160 1","pages":"169-177"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2007-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1680/GENG.2007.160.3.169","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67402051","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 order to improve the analysis of Statnamic testing in clay soils a full-scale instrumented auger bored pile was installed and tested in glacial lodgement till. As a result, improvements have been suggested in the test methodology and analysis. The inclusion of an accelerometer at the pile head would allow direct measurement of acceleration and verification of displacement measurements and velocity calculations. High-precision optical levelling of the pile before and after test cycles would allow multiple loading cycles to be considered cumulatively with greater confidence. The separation of the laser reference source from the test pile should be sufficient to avoid surface wave disturbance.","PeriodicalId":45150,"journal":{"name":"Geotechnical Engineering","volume":"159 1","pages":"269-273"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2006-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1680/GENG.2006.159.4.269","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67402041","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}

A model for unreinforced ballast has first been developed and evaluated using simulations of large-scale triaxial experiments and comparing with available data. A model for the geogrid has also been developed by bonding many small balls together to form the desired geometry and evaluated by simulating standard tests. The discrete element method (DEM) has then been used to model the interaction between ballast and geogrid by simulating pull-out tests and comparing with experimental data. The DEM simulations have been shown to predict well the peak mobilised resistance and the displacement necessary to mobilise peak pull-out force. The effect of the ratio of the geogrid aperture size to ballast particle diameter on pull-out resistance has also been investigated.

The soil modifies as soon as lime is mixed by changing its plasticity characteristics and particle size through cation exchange and flocculation. Stabilization on the other hand is a process which took place in a later stage after modification depending on the available lime content, mineralogy, microstructure properties and alkaline environment of the soil. The alkaline environment is essential in making the silicates and aluminates become soluble for the soil-lime reaction to take place. New cementitious compounds that crystallized with age were detected through SEM and XRD. The crystallized gels known as calcium silicate hydrate and calcium aluminate hydrate bind the soil particles thus increasing the shear strength of the soil. The strength development based on the microstructure and mineralogy aspects were studied. Tests conducted which include basic characteristics tests on soil and lime, compressive strength test, chemical tests and microstructure identification have provided the inside mechanism of soil-lime reactions and a clear understanding of lime modification and stabilization processes.","PeriodicalId":45150,"journal":{"name":"Geotechnical Engineering","volume":"36 1","pages":"123-132"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2005-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65937773","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 paper investigates the behaviour under lateral loading of FRP composite tapered and cylindrical piles filled with self-consolidating concrete (SCC) and driven in dense sand enclosed in a pressure chamber. Seventeen pile installations were conducted using toe driving and conventional head driving. The piles were subsequently subjected to static lateral load tests.
