Earthquake induced liquefaction in saturated granular soils is an important phenomenon causing severe damages. In order to minimize the ill-effects due to liquefaction, various lab tests, field tests are being used which assess the liquefaction potential. In the present study the shake table test has been used for assessing soil liquefaction of loose saturated cohesionless sand by simulating ea...

The critical state theory is a robust conceptual framework for the characterisation of soil behaviour. In laboratory, triaxial tests are used to assess locus. last decades, equipment and testing procedures characterisation, within framework, have advanced obtain accurate reliable results. This review paper summarises describes series recommended laboratory locus in cohesionless soils. For this ...

To model cohesionless granular flow using continuum theory, the usual approach is to assume the cohesionless Coulomb-Mohr yield condition. However, this yield condition assumes that the angle of internal friction is constant, when according to experimental evidence for most powders the angle of internal friction is not constant along the yield locus, but decreases for decreasing normal stress c...

The purpose of this study is to understand the effect of ground conditions on microbial cementation in cohesionless soils. Since the method of microbial cementation is still at the experimental stage, for its practical use in the field, a number of laboratory experiments are required for the quantification of microbial cementation under various ground conditions, such as relative densities, rel...

Soil embankments are valuable for the adequate reserve and supply of water to multiple industries. However, they susceptible internal soil erosion, which may ultimately lead structural collapse. To counteract this issue, stabilization is practiced in construction industry. This paper proposes erosion cohesionless using quicklime. For research, two types were investigated treated with quicklime:...

Abstract: Estimating passive earth pressure accurately is very important when designing retaining wall. Based on the unified strength theory and plane strain assumption, an analytical solution has been developed to determine the passive lateral earth pressure distribution on a retaining structure when the backfill is cohesive and inclined considering the effect of the intermediate principal str...
