Because the relationship is not exactly known, the adhesive strength of a clay is usually expressed as a fixed fraction of the cohesive strength, varying between 60% for hard clays and 100% for soft clays. Material tests of cohesive soil have been undertaken to detect the actual relation ...
In the manual excavation of heavy clay soils, the lose of fine root parts with diameter of <1 mm was inevitable because the fine roots were difficult to sep- arate from soil. Although parts of the fine roots were not sampled, the extent and branch of the whole roots could be directly ...
By Clay B. York Two of the most prevalent protest movements in recent history were the Black Lives Matter and the #StopTheSteal movements. While there are many differences between the two, one of the most prevalent is their use of violence. Whereas the BLM movement... Read Article...

The present paper tries to explore the load-settlement behavior of an under-reamed pile subjected to either compressive or pull-out loading and installed in clay whose cohesion increases linearly with depth. In this regard, the finite element analysis was performed using OptumG2 software wherein ...
The Niger Delta region of Nigeria is underlain by sensitive and problematic silty, peaty Clay deposits. Hence, considerable engineering judgement must be applied when using already established empirical values of soil parameters, obtained from other regions of the world, to determine the ultimate skin...
Limitations of the test are: (a) It should not be used unless the soil acidity is approximately the same for all samples. Very acid clay (pH 4 to 5), known to possess a very poor structure, gives a value of K 2 /K 1 close to unity. (b) It may not be safe to compare soils...
nonlinear stress-strain deformation behaviour and the predicted soil modulus for the areas are generally in the range of E applicable for routine work in London clay; soils within Agip and Iriebe are identified as medium clay, except for UST soils that are within the range of medium to stiff...
