Study of Strain Localization and Microstructural Changes in Partially Saturated Sand During Triaxial Tests Using Microfocus X-Ray CT

Simulation of Stress-Strain Behavior of Saturated Sand in Undrained Triaxial Tests Based on Genetic Adaptive Neural Networks

This study applies artificial neural networks (ANN) to simulate the soil stress-strain relationship observed in test data from triaxial shear testing of saturated sand. A genetic algorithm is used to obtain an optimal framework for the ANN. The results show that the proposed genetic adaptive neural network (GANN) can effectively model undrained monotonic and cyclic triaxial behaviour of saturat...

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

Investigation of Stress-Strain Behavior of Plastic Concrete Using Monotonic Triaxial Compression Tests

In this paper, the mechanical behavior of plastic concrete being used in the cut-off walls of earth dams has been studied. To do the task, triaxial compression tests on the specimens in various ages and mix designs under different confining pressures have been done and the stress-strain behavior of such materials and their strength parameter changes has been experimentally investigated. It has ...

Distribution of colloid particles onto interfaces in partially saturated sand.

Colloids have long been known to facilitate the transport of contaminants in soils, but few direct observations have been made of transport and retention in unsaturated porous media. Studies have typically been limited to evaluation of column breakthrough curves, resulting in differing and sometimes conflicting proposed retention mechanisms. We carried out pore scale visualization studies of co...
