Specimens of venous whole blood and two successive urinary voids were collected from 450 individuals apprehended for driving under the influence of alcohol in Sweden. The first specimen of urine (UAC-1) was obtained as soon as possible after arrest, and the second void (UAC-2) was collected about 60 min later (mean 66 min, range 30-130). A specimen of venous blood was drawn approximately 30 min...

Abstract This paper presents a constitutive model that predicts the water retention behaviour of compacted clays with evolving bimodal pore size distributions. In line previous research, differentiates between present inside saturated pores clay aggregates (the microstructure) and macrostructure). A new formulation is then introduced to account for effect macrostructural porosity changes on soi...

The presence of soil solids, water, and air complicates understanding unsaturated dynamics. A thorough behavior is essential for the fruitful design slopes, embankments, retaining structures. series constant void ratio confining pressure triaxial compression tests were carried out under water content conditions (pore drained pore undrained) to study shear strength deformation characteristics a ...
