The paper presents an experimental study on the effect of plastic fines content on the
undrained behavior and liquefaction susceptibility of sand–fines mixtures under monotonic …

An earthquake refers to volcanic or magmatic activity or any other sudden stress changes in
the earth which can result in instability, liquefaction and ground settlement. Past studies …

Drained triaxial compression tests on sand are common in geotechnical engineering due to
their application in determining strength and critical state properties, and calibration of …

In triaxial tests, membrane penetration is an important factor influencing the accuracy of
volume change and pore pressure measurement. To measure and evaluate the membrane …

The mechanical response of an assembly of particles depends on the applied boundary
conditions. Robust calibration of numerical discrete systems to laboratory results is also a …

India has witnessed a substantial growth in the consumption of plastic in the last few
decades, and due to absence of proper recycling system, considerable amount of waste …

Strain-controlled cyclic simple-shear tests were performed on silica sand with radial strain
measurements. The specimens were tested under a constant K 0 condition and subjected to …

A series of centrifuge tests was conducted to explore the deformation mechanisms and earth
pressures mobilised in loose and dense sand for a complete set of passive movement …

Previous investigations of membrane penetration mainly focused on uniform sandy soils,
and few studied gravelly soils. A common problem in most previous investigations was that …

Triaxial tests has been routinely used to measure the stress–strain relationship for
geomaterials. During triaxial testing, many sources of errors that cannot be completely …
