As part of ES 521-A, 'Effect of Maximum Particle Size, Triaxial Compression and Compaction Tests,' compaction tests were performed on a gravelly material with cohesive binder to determine the effect of large-size particles on maximum dry density and optimum water content and to obtain data for...
Statistical analysis was also undertaken on stiffness and permanent deformation results to provide engineers with the number of tests required to obtain a mean value within a certain accuracy of the "true" value, for a given confidence level. Stiffness modulus was found to have a far higher ...

The suction values varied from 616 kPa on the dry side of the OMC (highest compaction effort) to 5 kPa on the wet side of the OMC (lowest compaction effort). In these tests, the amount of suction developed by compaction was not very high because the clay fraction in the tested soil ...
Tests have been undertaken using different methods (according to ASTM C88, 2013; AASHTO T104, 1999; CNS 1167, 1995), and fine and coarse fractions of MIBA. The full results for sulphate soundness are given later in Chapter 6 (Table 6.1), which focuses specifically on the use of MIBA in...
m,was studied.Based on the tests of high energy dynamic compaction vibration at test site of port ground treatment,the maximum vibration velocity distribution and characteristic of vibrationdominant frequencyare analyzed.While the roles of vibration isolation trenches arestudied.Peak velocity in three ...
Hydrostatic and triaxial compression tests have been used successfully to define the cap and the shear failure surface. Additionally, these same tests have been used to quantitatively measure the other bulk properties (e.g., pressure-dependent bulk and shear modulus and Poisson’s ratio) required ...
Unconfined compressive strength tests were conducted to evaluate the engineering properties of the soil samples. The increase in strength due to long term pozzolanic reaction of the calcium oxide present in mine tailings with red earth resuling in the flocculation of particles. This encourages the ...
In most cases the impact compactor will be caused to traverse the compaction site on a number of passes to achieve adequate compaction of the soil. The level of compaction has conventionally been measured by in situ tests conducted at selected locations over the site after a number of passes ...
