To offer or predict the shear strength of compacted lime stabilized expansive soils after long-term immersion for the slope analysis, the paper carried out direct shear test on the compacted stabilized expansive soils after different immersion time. The test results show that long-term immersion has significant impact on the shear strength of the lime stabilized expansive soils, the shear strength reduced sharply after soaking, but the shear strength tends to a stable value about 60%~70% normal strength while soaking is longer than 50 days.

Abstract:
The shear strength of expansive soils is now a key geotechnical problem. The water content and dry density of expansive soils have deep effect on its shear strength. For analyzing the detail relationship of the water content, dry density and shear strength of this special soil, direct shear test was carried out with the samples from Xinxiang in middle line of South to North water diversion project. The results indicate that both of the cohesion and friction angle grow with dry density and decrease with initial water content. Applying the linear regression calculation, we obtained mathematical

Abstract:
Expansive soil is characterized by its unique structural morphology and drastic volume change. With infrastructure increasingly constructed in expansive soil areas, engineering problems caused by the properties of expansive soils have attracted more attention. Cyclic wetting-drying and shear testing were accordingly conducted on an expansive soil from Chengdu area in China. Crack development and shear strength change were analyzed using the Mohr–Coulomb equation for shear strength by fitting the experimental data. The results show the following: (1) With the increase in wetting-drying cycles,

Abstract:
In the southwest of China, there are widely distributed expansive soils. However, to save costs and manage the speed of construction, these shallow expansive soils are often filled with subgrade materials. Therefore, it is necessary to clearly understand the mechanical behaviors of unmodified shallow expansive soils. Current research on the mechanical behaviors of shallow expansive soils is mainly focused on shear and compressive strengths but rarely on the tensile strength since general tests are costly, time consuming, and difficult to conduct. Therefore, uniaxial tensile, unconfined compres

Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) has been a promising method to improve geotechnical engineering properties; however, there are few literatures about the application of the MICP method to improve the strength characteristics of expansive soils with low permeability. In this paper, a series of CD triaxial tests were carried out to investigate the effect of the MICP method on the strength characteristics of the expansive soils. The results show that the shear strength of the specimens increased with the increase in the cementation solution and eventually reached a stable value. T

Abstract:
The micropore surface fractal model for expansive soils is proposed in this paper. Based on the results of the mercury intrusion tests, it is found that the micropore surface fractal dimension is 2.40 for the soil sample with the dry density of 1.50 g/cm 3, and is 2.47 for the soil sample with the dry density of 1.60 g/cm 3. By using the micropore surface fractal model, the shear strength formula for expansive soils is obtained. All the parameters in the proposed shear strength formula are constant, and are independent of matric suction. The validation of the proposed shear strength formula is

Abstract:
In recent years, engineering constructions increase rapidly in western and central areas of China, where expansive soil widely distributes. Since expansive soil is sensitive to water content, the characterization of its shear strength should be carefully conducted. For simplicity and ease of use, the Mohr-Coulomb criterion is often adopted to describe the shear strength of expansive soil. In this paper, the physical meaning of the cohesion and frictional strength of expansive soil are explained, and the variations of the strength parameters with water content are investigated.

Expansive soil is prone to rapid strength degradation caused by repeated volume swelling and shrinkage under alternating dry–wet conditions. Basalt fiber (BF) and cement are utilized to stabilize expansive soil, aiming to curb its swelling and shrinkage, enhance its strength, and ensure its durability in dry–wet cycles. This study examines the impact of varying content (0–1%) of BF on the physical and mechanical characteristics of expansive soil stabilized with a 6% cement content.

Abstract Pipeline coatings in buried service are subjected to stresses from the surrounding soil as a result of the weight of the overburden and the weight of the pipe with its contents. These stresses are exacerbated by changes in the soil composition, pipe movement due to operating pressure and thermal expansion/contraction. Soil stress can damage the mainline and the girth weld coatings, leading to corrosion of the pipeline and costly repairs. Understanding the magnitude of these stresses is critical to coating design and material selection. A model has been developed to allow the estimatio

Abstract:
This report describes several advances in the cyclic failure assessment of silt soils with immediate and practical benefit to the geotechnical earthquake engineering profession. First, a database of cyclic loading test data is assembled, evaluated, and used to assess trends in the curvature of the CRR-N (cyclic resistance ratio - the number of equivalent cycles) relationship. This effort culminated in a plasticity index-dependent function which can be used to estimate the exponent b in the power law describing cyclic resistance, and may be used to estimate the cyclic resistance of silt soils a

Abstract:
Concentrated flow erosion in rills, pipes, ephermal gullies, and gullies is a major contributor of downstream sedimentation. When rill or gullies form in a landscape, a 3- to 5-fold increase in soil loss commonly occurs. The balance between the erosive power of the flow and the erosion resistance of the bed material determines the rate of concentrated flow erosion. The resistance of the bed material to detachment depends primarily on the magnitude of the interparticle forces or cohesion holding the particles and aggregates together. The effect of soil properties on bed material resistance and

Abstract:
This report describes analysis of ground failure and lack thereof observed in the Mihama Ward portion of Chiba, Japan following the 2011 M9.0 Tohoku Earthquake. In conjunction with this work, we have also significantly expanded the laboratory component of the Next Generation Liquefaction (NGL) relational database. The district referred to as Mihama Ward is on ground composed of hydraulic fill sluiced in by pipes, thereby resulting in a gradient of soil coarseness, with coarser soils deposited near the pipes and fine-grained soils carried further away.

Abstract:
Reinforced concrete structural slurry walls have been used in the United States since the early 1960s. The typical practice, and one that makes the economics of slurry walls particularly attractive, is to design the walls to act as both temporary excavation support and permanent basement walls. They often serve as multi-story basements and below grade parking for buildings, for tunnels, subway stations, and other buried structures. One of the early applications was for a foundation for a subway station in San Francisco, but for the most part they have been used more extensively in regions of l

Abstract:
The underlying similarity between soils, grains, fertilizers, concentrated animal feed, pellets, and mixtures is that they are all granular materials used in agriculture. Modeling such materials is a complex process due to the spatial variability of such media, the origin of the material (natural or biological), the nonlinearity of these materials, the contact phenomenon and flow that occur at the interface zone and between these granular materials, as well as the dynamic effect of the interaction process. The lack of a tool for studying such materials has limited the understanding of the phen
