Rapid urbanization and geological challenges in Kathmandu have made it crucial to understand the geotechnical properties of soil region. This study here focuses on undrained shear strength silty clay Kalimati, Kathmandu, investigates applicability Vane Shear tests its parameters over other from methods. Geotechnical investigations were carried out at three locations within Engineering College p...

The fundamental mechanisms controlling shear strength and deformability behavior of clay-fiber mixtures have still not been well established, nor the constraints that may affect their performance shearing under different drainage conditions. This study aims to understand a clay soil mixed with polypropylene fibers using results from drained undrained triaxial compression tests, provide necessar...

In this study we investigate the effect of prior seismic shaking on monotonic shear strength saturated Ottawa Sand 20/30. We perform a series stress-controlled undrained cyclic triaxial tests with different intensities intentionally without causing failure, followed by drainage excess pore pressure and an loading test to determine strength. The experimental data show that small moderate events ...

Suction piles are used to ensure wellhead stability during natural gas hydrate production in the Shenhu area of South China Sea (SCS). Undrained shear properties clayey-silty sediments play a critical role analysis suction piles. However, it has not been fully studied. This study conducts series undrained triaxial tests on shallow SCS, and stress–strain curves under different overconsolidation ...

Most of the field problems in geotechnical engineering are in three dimensional state or close to a plane strain condition. Strength and deformation properties of soils in plane strain condition are considerably different from those in an axisymmetric condition. Many researchers have investigated the behaviour of soils under a plane strain condition. However, most of the previous studies have c...
