Material tests of cohesive soil have been undertaken to detect the actual relation between the adhesion and cohesion of cohesive soil. The experimental results can directly help the implementation of the Delft sand, clay and rock cutting model, as a result the optimal cutting angle in dredging ...
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 ...

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...

Hence, considerable engineering judgement must be applied when using already established empirical values of soil parameters, obtained from ...
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 soils exhibited a 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 ...
