Soil suction–based analyses are paramount to proper design of foundations in expansive
soils, yet availability of field soil suction profiles from direct measurement is limited. A …

A series of tests were carried out to study the combined effect of plastic fiber, metal fiber, and
the optimum percentage of natural hydraulic lime (NHL) in gravelly soils with clays. The …

Recently, soil erosion has been a significant and common issue along road right of way
(ROW). This study was designed to identify the effect of soil erosion on the physical and …

The physical mechanisms that cause slope failure involving the Lawton Clay in the Puget
Lowland have been well studied; however, the physio-chemical mechanisms, specifically …

As the water content in the soil increases, the consistency of fine-grained soil changes from
solid to plastic state, and eventually to a liquid form. Plastic limit (PL) is the point at which the …
