Expansive soils present significant geotechnical and structural engineering challenges the
world over, with costs associated with expansive behaviour estimated to run into several …

Conventional procedures for determining deformations during triaxial tests are based on
measurements made externally to the cell. This practice is inadequate, particularly if the …

Develop a Greater Understanding of How and Why Surface Wave Testing Works Using
examples and case studies directly drawn from the authors' experience, Surface Wave …

The compressibility and strength characteristics of reconstituted clays are used as a basic
frame of reference for interpreting the corresponding characteristics of natural sedimentary …

The engineering properties of naturally occurring sedimentary and residual deposits which
are usually treated in geotechnical engineering as 'soils' are reviewed, and it is shown that …

The stiffness of soil at very small strain G o is a useful parameter for characterizing the non-
linear stress–strain behaviour of soil for monotonic loading and it is required for analyses of …

The use of piezoelectric ceramics to measure shear wave velocity in laboratory soil
specimens is discussed. The experimental technique and interpretative methodology are …

抄録 A simple device named" local deformation transducer (LDT)" was developed to
investigate stiffness of soils that can be measured in the laboratory for strain levels ranging …

Accurate prediction of ground-surface settlement adjacent to an excavation is often difficult
to achieve without using accurate representation of small-strain nonlinearity in a soil model …

Analytical and comprehensive, this state-of-the-art book, examines the mechanics and
engineering of unsaturated soils, as well as explaining the laboratory and field testing and …
