Shrinkage limit can be used to estimate other critical factors such as shrinkage ratio,
shrinkage index and volumetric shrinkage. Experimental determination of shrinkage limit …

Growing application of artificial intelligence in geotechnical engineering has been observed;
however, its ability to predict the properties and nonlinear behaviour of reactive soil is …

Susceptibility of fine grained soils to swelling and shrinkage problems is crucial for safe
design of infrastructure, construction and maintenance. However, quantification of soil …

Determination of soaked california bearing ratio (CBR) and compaction characteristics of
soils in the laboratory require considerable time and effort. To make a preliminary …

Consolidation settlement is a phenomenon happens in saturated fine-grained soils when
subjected to change in effective stress. Consolidation settlement is often determined using …

This study presents a set of regression models for predicting maximum dry unit weight (γ _
dmax)(γ dmax) and optimum moisture content (OMC) of fine-grained soils in terms of their …

Tensile strength of fine-grained soils has been extensively investigated by earlier
researchers and several methodologies have been evolved for its determination. However …

Soft soils especially those which contain montmorillonite are susceptible to excessive
shrinkage and swelling. Shrinkage curve has often been used to model and predict the …

A procedure is proposed for conducting shrinkage limit tests using a 3D scanner. Shrinkage
limit tests were conducted on 13 different soils of various plasticity. Shrinkage curves for …

An essential task in the process of construction is the determination of compaction properties
of soils. Many years of laboratory test experience strengthen our belief in the existence of …
