This study evaluates the effect of water-cement ratio on linear shrinkage strain, cohesion, friction angle and unconfined compressive strength of expansive black clay of Gombe state in Nigeria. The soil was remolded with predetermined amount of water and then mixed with cement slurry which was ...
The process, geometry and scour depth around submerged spur dike in cohesive sediments were significantly affected by clay percentage and unconfined compressive strength of cohesive sediment mixtures. Relationships are proposed for the assessment of scour depth at nose and, at the wake of submerged ...
The scour depth decreases drastically with an increase in clay percentage and unconfined compressive strength of the mixtures of cohesive sediment. Using dimensional analysis, equations have been presented for the assessment of scour depth in the wake region of spur dikes embedded in the mixtures of ...
Crack-induced damage of Lac du Bonnet granite, both in the laboratory and in situ, begins when the load exceeds approximately one-third of the unconfined compressive strength. However, the stress level associated with failure is a function of loading path. In the laboratory,...
