Abstract:

This dissertation presents an investigation of engineering behavior of expansive soils. An analytical study was undertaken for the development and modification of a Windows-based two-dimensional finite element computer program FLODEF that performs a sequentially coupled flow-displacement analysis for the prediction of moisture diffusion and the induced volume change in soils supporting various elements of civil infrastructure. The capabilities of the model are illustrated through case studies of shear strength envelope forecast and parametric studies of transient flow-deformation prediction in

Abstract:

In this study, the relationship between soil suction and shear strength parameters of compacted METU campus clay were investigated at different moisture contents. Soil samples were tested at optimum moisture content (i.e. w=20.8%), at dry side of optimum moisture content (i.e. w=14.8%, 16.8%, 18.8%) and at wet side of optimum moisture content (i.e. w=22.8%, 24.8%, 26.8%). Direct shear tests were performed to measure shear strength parameters (c&#039<br>, &amp<br>#934<br>&#039<br>) and soil suctions were measured by filter paper method after direct shear tests.

Sugarcane is considered as the most abundant plant based crop grown in the tropics and part of the temperate climates. Its by-product, sugarcane bagasse, constitutes 30% of the total production. In the past, it was considered as waste material but contemporaries through innovative research projects over the years have found uses for it. Among these projects is soil reinforcement, which provides an alternative application to industrial by-products and natural fibres as a way of reducing their environmental footprints and contributing to sustainable geotechnics.

Abstract:

Compacted soils are frequently used as subgrade for pavements as well as commercial and residential buildings. The stiffness and shear strength properties of compacted soils, which are collectively denoted as Ω in this thesis, fluctuate with moisture content changes that result from the influence of environmental factors such as the evaporation and infiltration. For example, mechanistic pavement design methods require the information of resilient modulus (MR), which is the soil stiffness behavior under cyclic traffic loading, and its variation with respect to the soil moisture content determin

Abstract:

Temperature changes occur in soils in a number of ways, e. g. landfill liners, around buried services and during sampling. An experimental programme was conducted to examine the effect of temperature (between 10 to 80 °C) on the volume change and shear behaviour of saturated clays. Testing included Liquid Limit (cone penetrometer), residual shear strength (modified Bromhead Ring Shear), laboratory vane shear ( at moisture contents between the Liquid and Plastic Limits) and oedometer tests. An extensive literature survey indicated that kaolinites and smectites would show extremes of thermal beh

Abstract:

This thesis describes the results of a study on the undrained shear strength (Cu) of ultra-soft clay soils in admixtures of calcium hydroxide (slaked-lime). The pozzolanic gains in strength over time, over periods as long as one year were recorded. The undrained shear strengths were measured primarily using penetration tests: a Tinius Olsen desk-top compression machine was modified to conduct these constant-rate of strain tests, using circular disc penetrometers. Measured bearing resistances were interpreted in terms of undrained shear strengths: data from the literature, as well as some finit

Abstract:

Particulate materials are ubiquitous in the natural environment and have served throughout human history as one of the basic materials for developing civilizations. In terms of human activity, the handling of particulate materials consumes approximately 10% of all the energy produced on earth. Advances in the study and understanding of particulate materials can thus be expected to have a major impact on society. Geotechnical engineers have a long history of studying particulate materials since the fundamental building blocks of the profession include sands, silts, clays, gravels and ores, all

Abstract:

Shear strength is a key engineering property required in the design of several geotechnical structures that include earth dams, pavements, slopes, retaining walls and foundations. In many situations these structures are constructed with unsaturated soils or in soils that are placed in a state of unsaturated condition. The designs of these structures are based on conventional soil mechanics assuming that the soil is in a state saturated condition resulting in conservative estimations. Several experimental techniques are presently available and more are evolving for determining the shear strengt

Abstract:

Unique features of behavior of granular materials make constitutive modeling of these materials a challenge that has not yet been answered completely. Because volume changes are so important for the type of behavior exhibited by frictional materials, it is important to correctly incorporate them in constitutive models, both in terms of their rate of development and their magnitude. In this study a number of consolidated drained triaxial tests are performed to find those features of sand behavior that can be considered "material parameters" and can be used for constitutive modeling of granular

Abstract:

Although silt and clay mixtures were mostly considered to be resistant to cyclic loading due to cohesional components of their shear strength, ground failure case histories compiled from fine grained soil profiles after recent earthquakes (e.g. 1994 Northridge, 1999 Adapazari, 1999 Chi-Chi) revealed that the responses of low plasticity silt and clay mixtures are also critical under cyclic loading. Consequently, understanding the cyclic response of these soils has become a recent challenge in geotechnical earthquake engineering practice.

Strain localization, the phenomenon of large shear deformation within thin zones of intensive shearing, commonly occurs both in-situ and in the laboratory tests on soils specimens. The intriguing mechanism of strain localization and how it will affect the general behavior of soil specimens have been investigated by many researchers. Some of the efforts have focused on finding the links between material properties (void space, fabric tensor) and mechanical behavior (stress, strain, volumetric strain).

The dynamic properties of clay deposits under seismic or wave loading conditions must be well understood to assure dynamic stability of structures founded on such soil. The dynamic shear modulus and damping appear to be a complex function of many variables, and a wide range of values have been reported in the literature. Consequently, considerable uncertainty exists in choosing the appropriate values of shear modulus and damping for a particular problem.

Abstract:

The University of Aberdeen has conducted research into ground anchorage systems since the early 1980's. During this time, the non-destructive GRANIT system (GRound ANchorage Integrity Testing) has been developed for anchorages in rock. The system is based on observing the dynamic response from anchorages to which an impulse of a known intensity has been applied. This technique has been proven to be a reliable system to assess the integrity of rock anchorages, which is then used as a base to study the integrity of soil anchorages. This research aims to implement a non-destructive testing system
