As leachate has been a source of groundwater contamination worldwide, this paper examines the phenomenon of leachate migration on different gradations of compacted laterite soil used as sanitary landfill liners. Three different soil gradations (30%, 40% and 50% with respect to fines content) used in this study were compacted in circular acrylic columns to provide a clear visualization of leachate migration into the soils. Digital image technique was used in capturing photos at successive time intervals to monitor the leachate migration. The captured digital images were fed into Matlab and conv

Abstract Foam mortar is a substitute for sub-base layers and base layers in road pavement construction on peat soil, which has the advantages of lightness, strength, and self-compacting. Sand is one of the building blocks of foam mortar. The purpose of the study was to analyze the effect of the gradation of sand on the resulting physical and mechanical properties of foam mortar (foam concrete). In this research, six gradations of sand were made (gradations of 3 sand sources and 3 gradations based on pusjatan standards) and then used in the manufacture of foam mortar and analyzed for volumetric

Rock-soil aggregate, as a specific geomaterial, exhibits complicated mechanical behavior. The rock-soil aggregate sampled from the deep layer of sliding mass at Jinpingzi area of Wudongde hydropower plant on Yangtze River is investigated to understand its mechanical behavior.

The results show that variation of stone content and gradation considerably affects the mechanical characteristics of rock-soil aggregate. Further, the influences of stone content, and gradation va

Shear strength is an essential index for the evaluation of soil stability. Test results of the shear strength of scaled coarse-grained soil (CGS for short) are usually not able to accurately reflect the actual properties and behaviors of in situ CGS due to the scale effect. Therefore, this study focuses on the influence of the scale effect on the shear strength of scaled CGS, which has an important theoretical significance and application for the strength estimation of CGS in high earth-rock dam engineering.

Eight non-plastic soils with different gradation are used for this research to study the appropriate choice of soil-cement mixture for a earth and rock-fill dam construction project.

Particle gradation and water content are important factors affecting shear strength of soil. However, due to chemical cementation and molecular attraction, loess particles commonly stick together forming conglomerations.

In this study, loess samples were prepared with three conglomeration gradations and five water contents, and the direct shear tests were systematically performed. The shear str

However, applying these definitions to railroad ballast can be erroneous, as most particles in a ballast material are larger than 4.75 mm (often as large as 63 mm in size), therefore indicating the absence of any ‘fine’ particles.
