The approach combines the plane strain equilibrium condition and Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion to obtain the stress distribution along a translational, rotational and composite failure path. It is shown that the exact solutions for cohesion factor and surcharge factor for a - - soil do not require the superposition assumption and that both these factors are path-independent. A general closed-form path-dependent expression for the soil weight factor is also derived in terms of internal friction angle of the soil and the geometry of the failure path. The application of proposed expression on two-line and three-line failure modes as well as the well-known Hill mechanism are evaluated and discussed. Due to the overestimation of the soil weight factor by two-line and three-line modes, and by Hill mechanism, geometric modifications on the failure paths are proposed. The proposed mechanism and its bearing capacity are verified using the method of the stress characteristics. The effect of a non-associated flow rule on the reduction of the soil weight factor is also investigated quantitatively.","PeriodicalId":46470,"journal":{"name":"Geomechanics and Geoengineering-An International Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43948425","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 this paper, the influences of thawing and freezing cycles on the chemical-mechanical and microstructural properties of stabilised sulphate-rich clay with MOSC using a triaxial cell set-up, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction were investigated. The sulphate-rich clay specimens with various dosages of Magnesium Oxysulfate Cement (MOSC) and different curing times were exposed to one, two and three thawing and freezing cycles in soaked and un-soaked conditions. The consequences showed that the compression strength and behaviour of the stress and strain samples significantly depend on the amount of MOSC. The durability index which was described as the ratio of the resistance before and after stabilising revealed that the durability augments by the increase of MOSC. In addition, increasing curing times in the MOSC stabilised specimens leads to an increase in their compression resistance.","PeriodicalId":46470,"journal":{"name":"Geomechanics and Geoengineering-An International Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49317031","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}

However, the durability of lime-treated soil under varying environmental conditions such as contamination with chemical agents is still a matter of concern. An attempt has been made to examine the swelling behaviour of untreated and lime-treated expansive soil subjected to sulphate contamination (i.e. soluble gypsum). Series of the free swell index and one-dimensional oedometer swell tests have been performed in untreated and lime-treated soil inundating with soluble gypsum of varying sulphate concentration (i.e. low to high; 0 to 30000 ppm). The results of one-dimensional oedometer swell tests revealed that the sulphate contamination leads to the reduction in the maximum swelling percentage of untreated soil. On contrary, a drastic increase in the swelling percentage has been observed in the lime-treated soil subjected to contamination up to 16000 ppm, which diminishes thereafter with an increase in sulphate concentration. It is revealed that the sulphate contamination has observed promising effect on untreated soil; whereas a susceptible behaviour is pronounced in the lime-treated soil up to 16000 ppm sulphate concentration. Further, experimental outcomes are elucidated based on the detailed microanalyses (XRD, SEM, EDAX and FTIR) of samples.","PeriodicalId":46470,"journal":{"name":"Geomechanics and Geoengineering-An International Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42069813","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}

Twenty-six soil samples were collected from different locations of Kutch region and tested under saturated and moist conditions by performing two series of Electromechanical Dynamic Cyclic Simple Shear (EMDCSS) tests. In series I, the liquefaction characteristics of saturated samples were observed to be dependent on fines content and plasticity index. Kutch soils with non-plastic fines exhibited low liquefaction resistance and showed increased resistance at higher FC; however, for sands with plastic fines, PI rather than FC controlled the cyclic degradation. Saturated sandy soils with non-plastic fines exhibited lower shear stress mobilisation, higher pore pressure and larger degradation as compared to sands with clay content. In series II, the settlement characteristics of moist samples at constant normal stress revealed decreased axial deformation and increased mobilised shear stress with increased FC and PI. Silty-sands exhibited higher deformations and larger strength as compared to clayey-sands. The EMDCSS tests at saturated and moist conditions revealed Kutch soils to be prone to liquefaction and large settlements, respectively.","PeriodicalId":46470,"journal":{"name":"Geomechanics and Geoengineering-An International Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48538515","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}

An instrumented pile-probe was used to investigate the evolution of local skin friction and excess pore water pressure during cyclic loading. After a brief description of the experimental setup and the testing procedure, the tests results are presented concerning the response of the probe during installation, initial monotonic axial loading, cyclic loading up to large numbers of cycles (105 cycles) and post-cyclic monotonic axial loading. During cyclic loading, an initial degradation phase of local skin friction followed by a stabilization phase is observed. Generation of excess pore water pressure occurs during the 60 first cycles followed by a dissipation phase. Parametric study showed that, for initial monotonic loadings, maximum tip resistance and local skin friction are proportional to stress level. Furthermore, excess pore water pressure generated during cyclic loading depends both on initial stress level applied to the clay specimen and cyclic displacement amplitude. A peak value of local skin friction resistance has been observed during post-cyclic monotonic loadings.","PeriodicalId":46470,"journal":{"name":"Geomechanics and Geoengineering-An International Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17486025.2019.1573325","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41289800","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 Galerkin method is utilised to establish the weak form governing equations for an unsaturated poroviscoelastic medium in the framework of 2.5D FEM. To reduce the reflected waves from the truncated boundaries of the 2.5D FE model, the formulations of the perfectly match layer (PML) technique are coupled with the governing equations of the unsaturated medium. The unsaturated ground vibrations with an embankment under moving loads are analysed by the proposed 2.5D FE approach, to investigate the influences of an embankment on unsaturated ground vibrations. The results of this research found that the PML technique can effectively reduce the reflected waves in the 2.5D FE model of unsaturated grounds. The increased soil saturation would increase the ground vibration amplitude, as well as the pore water pressure. Constructing embankment on the unsaturated ground could reduce the vibrations amplitude under the moving load, however increase the ground vibrations at the foot of the embankment.","PeriodicalId":46470,"journal":{"name":"Geomechanics and Geoengineering-An International Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49202399","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}
