Evaluation of Resilient Modulus for Reinforced Trackbed using Large Triaxial Tests

Assessment of the Mechanical Properties of Sisal Fiber-Reinforced Silty Clay Using Triaxial Shear Tests

Fiber reinforcement is widely used in construction engineering to improve the mechanical properties of soil because it increases the soil's strength and improves the soil's mechanical properties. However, the mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced soils remain controversial. The present study investigated the mechanical properties of silty clay reinforced with discrete, randomly distributed ...

strength evaluation of wet reinforced silty sand by triaxial test

conventional investigations on the behavior of reinforced and unreinforced soils are often investigated at the failure point. in this paper, a new concept of comparison of the behavior of reinforced and unreinforced soil by estimating the strength and strength ratio (deviatoric stress of reinforced sample to unreinforced sample) at various strain levels is proposed. a comprehensive set of labor...

evaluation of mechanical behaviour of sandstone and andesibasalt rockfill materials using triaxial & direct shear tests

the mechanical behaviour of rockfill materials and aggregates depends not only on particle size and compaction, but also on their strength and lithological properties. in this research two types of large triaxial and direct shear tests are performed on rockfill materials. this paper compares the stress-strain behaviour of sandstone and andesibasalt materials in triaxial compression tests (3006...

Effect of Cementation on the Shear Strength of Tehran Gravelly Sand Using Triaxial Tests

Estimation of Subgrade Resilient Modulus Using Unconfined Compression Test

1 2 Resilient modulus test is the recommended test to characterize subgrade soil for 3 pavement design in 1993 AASHTO pavement design guide as well as new proposed 4 Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). This test requires significant 5 resources including high level of technical capability to conduct. For smaller projects where 6 costly and complex resilient modulus testing is n...
