This study aims to use the crushed glass obtained from waste flasks improve properties of weak roadbed soil. The included crushing and powdering flasks. Afterward, was sieved separated into three classes depending on particle size: class A contains particles with diameter less than 4.75 mm more 1.18 mm, B 0.08 C mm. For each these classes, 6 different contents were mixed a soil their influences...

This paper presents the results of consolidated and undrained (CU) triaxial cyclic tests related to influence tire waste addition on strength characteristics two different soils from Southern Poland: unswelling kaolin swelling red clay. The test procedure included normally remolded specimens prepared pure clay (RC) (K) their mixtures with fractions shredded rubber powder (P) granulate (G) in 5%...

Recent ground failure case histories after 1994 Northridge, 1999 Kocaeli and 1999 Chi-Chi earthquakes revealed that low-plasticity silt-clay mixtures generate significant cyclic pore pressures and can exhibit a strain-softening response, which may cause significant damage to overlying structural systems. In this study, results of cyclic tests performed on undisturbed specimens of ML, CL, MH and...

The paper describes the mechanisms and conditions for damage-memory effect (Kaiser effect) in rocks subjected to a three-dimensional nonproportional cyclic loading with changes rocks' shape orientation of Lam-ellipsoid. experiments cubic samples taken from polymictic sandstone were conducted on Triaxial Independent Loading Testing System continuous recording an acoustic emission signals. result...
