...M. Gulen; M. Koçan; H. Kılıç The grain size distribution, particle shape, and interface material properties play a critical role in governing interfacial interaction and shear strength. In this study, the interface behaviour and shear strength characteristics of four sands with similar grain size...

...S. N. Moghaddas Tafreshi; H. R. Rezaeinejad; H. Alizadeh Balf; B. C. O’Kelly; A. Faramarzi Foundations bearing on uncompacted coarse-grained soil deposits (e.g. aeolian fine sands) can experience excessive settlements under monotonic and cyclic loading conditions. Straightforward strategies...

...V. Kishor Kumar; K. Ilamparuthi This article investigates the uplift resistance of a model anchor embedded in sand by varying its density at four embedment depths (L/D = 1, 2, 3, and 4). Such different configurations of geosynthetic reinforcement as single-layer planar, double...

...Y.P. Vaid; N. Rinne The influence of soil particle shape, confining pressure and the amount of relative displacement on the value of the interface friction angle are studied in the laboratory using a ring shear apparatus. Two quartz sands, one angular and the other rounded, with two geomembranes...

...M.S.S Almeida; J. Spada; M. Ehrlich This paper presents results of filtration tests with geotextiles in combination with a uniform fine sand and a clayey fine sand. The tests with the clayey sand were long term tests during which the pH, electrical conductivity and turbidity of the percolation...
