a new technique for assessing volume change behavior of unsaturated soils
نویسندگان
چکیده
determination of volume change of unsaturated soils during loading and suction change is one of the most important difficulties in testing unsaturated specimens. it is revealed from literature review that various attempts have been made to invent an apparatus that can be used in testing on unsaturated soil specimens, simply and accurately. in this research, details of design and manufacture of a fully automatic 3-axial apparatus is explained, that can be used in measurement of volume change in unsaturated soils. calibration procedure is also explained. to determine swcc, some tests were conducted in anisotropic conditions. results confirm the operation of apparatus. it is shown that swcc is a function of excreted load.

A Hyperbolic Model for Stress-strain Behavior of Unsaturated Soils
A new simple shear apparatus is fabricated which is capable of applying monotonic and cyclic load on soil specimens. A series of tests was conducted to study the pore pressures (or suction), volume change, and shear behavior of the soil samples with anisotropic consolidation pressure. The simple shear apparatus is capable of controlling as well as measuring pore-air and pore-water pressure in t...

expansive soils undergo volumetric changes in response to changes in their moisture content that this characteristic causes irreparable problems particularly in civil projects. investigators have proposed chemical methods as well as mechanical treatments to stabilize the expansive soils. in this study, stabilization of expansive soil with randomly distributed fiber was investigated by reinforci...
متن کاملEstimation of Water Retention Curve for Unsaturated Fine Soils
In order to obtain the soil water retention curve of an unsaturated soil which is defined as the relationship between water content and suction, extensive laboratory tests are essential. These laboratory tests are usually costly and time consuming. Moreover, for most practical problems, it has been found that approximate unsaturated soil properties are adequate for analysis. Thus, empirical pro...

Shallow foundations are often situated on unsaturated zones above the groundwater table. In this study, the influence of rainfall infiltration on the settlement behavior of shallow foundations was investigated using numerical analyses. The numerical solutions were compared with experimental data from in-situ load tests. The relative importance of rainfall intensities and groundwater table posit...
متن کاملA New Technique for Quality Assessment of Railway Ballast Materials
The influence of main quality tests on the overall quality of railway ballast materials is assessed in this study. The need to integrate all acceptance tests in a unified manner for precise evaluation of ballast quality is identified, and a technique of performing this is proposed. Using this approach, a new ballast quality index (BQI) is defined in which, the main acceptance tests including ab...
