The debate on whether the creep failure is induced by a stress threshold or a strain
threshold is studied on several soils in this paper with a power law model and a …

The creep behavior of cohesive soils is highly related to the plasticity index. To study the
relationship between the creep and the plasticity index of soils, a creep model is proposed to …

This study investigates the creep behavior of bentonite-sand mixtures as potential buffer
materials for low-level radioactive waste (LLW) repositories, with a specific case study in …

In order to study the long-term behavior of spread footings with support from the Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA), a load test was performed on five spread footings more …

This paper presents an easy-to-apply methodology that allows obtaining the permeability
index and the initial hydraulic conductivity of clayey soils, basic constitutive parameters in …

Ground improvement techniques with deep cement mixing soil (DCM) columns,
prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs), or even stone columns have been adopted in a recent …

The surface subsidence, with a maximum value exceeding 160 m, has developed over 40
years due to underground magnetite mining. The classical mapping and sensing method …

Abstract The settlement of San Jacinto Monument is a very valuable long-term monitoring
data (over 80 years) for studying time-dependent behavior in geotechnical engineering …

Deformability of road pavements in the form of ruts represent a safety risk for road users. In
the procedures for dimensioning the pavement structure, the requirement that such …

The majority of existing studies on the soil-geogrid interaction were based on the
assumption that the surrounding geotechnical media was a homogeneous material …
