The Effect of Geopolymerization on the Unconfined Compressive Strength of Stabilized Fine-grained Soils
This study focuses on evaluating the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of improved fine-grained soils. A large database of unconfined compressive strength of clayey soil specimens stabilized with fly ash and blast furnace slag based geopolymer were collected and analyzed. Subsequently, using adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), a model has been developed to assess the UCS of stabi...
متن کاملSoil Compression Index Prediction Model for Fine Grained Soils
Compressibility of a soil mass is its susceptibility to decrease in volume under pressure and is indicated by soil characteristics like coefficient of compressibility, compression index and coefficient of consolidation. However, the determination of soil compressibility characteristics in the labs is a cumbersome and time consuming process, especially in the case of fine grained soils. In the p...
متن کاملSmall Strain Stiffness of Fine Grained Soils
Dynamic measurements of very small strain stiffness (c 0.001% and less) were carried out both in the laboratory, using piezoceramic bender elements of the type developed at the Norwegian Ceotechnical Institute and at the University College of North Wales, and in situ, using surface wave techniques. For the purpose of the research described in this dissertation, the piezoceramic bender elements ...
متن کاملEstimation of Water Retention Curve for Unsaturated Fine Soils
In order to obtain the soil water retention curve of an unsaturated soil which is defined as the relationship between water content and suction, extensive laboratory tests are essential. These laboratory tests are usually costly and time consuming. Moreover, for most practical problems, it has been found that approximate unsaturated soil properties are adequate for analysis. Thus, empirical pro...
متن کاملInvestigating the Effect of Sedimentary Basin on Consolidation of Kerman Fine-Grained Soils
In this research, the effects of a sedimentary basin, environmental conditions, and the passage of time were investigated on consolidation processes and engineering characteristics of fine-grained soils in Kerman city. For this purpose, the natural consolidation curves of soil samples extracted from different locations of Kerman city were compared with the Kerman city intrinsic consolidation li...
