...M. Y. Al-Aghbari; Y. E.-A. Mohamedzein This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the behaviour of circular foundations with a structural skirt resting on sand. The structural skirts are fixed to the perimeter of the foundations, and can be used for new or existing shallow...

...R. Bouferra; I. Shahrour This paper concerns a study of the influence of fines on the resistance to liquefaction of a clayey sand. The study is carried out using a triaxial apparatus on a reconstituted sand-clay mixture containing a low fraction of clay. After a description of the soil used...

... cement to improve the engineering behaviour of a uniform fine sand. In addition to the nature of the fibres,also analysed have been the separate and combined effect of fibre content (up to 0·5% by weight), fibre length (up to 36 mm), cement content (from 0% to 7% by weight) and initial mean effective...

...J.-C. Dupla; J. Canou; D. Gouvenot In this paper, an advanced experimental set-up is presented for studying the monodirectional grout injection process in sand matrices. The prototype presented is based on the use of sand pluviation for the reconstitution of vertical sand columns (80 mm in diameter...

...M. Y. Al-Aghbari; Y. E.-A. Mohamedzein Tests on footing models were carried out to study the behaviour of strip footings with structural skirts resting on sand. The use of structural skirts improved the bearing capacity of strip footings by a factor of up to three. The improvement depends...

...D. T. Bergado; D. G. Lin; M. Nakamura Two types of sand compaction pile (SCP) model tests have been carried out to investigate the engineering properties of locally available and low-quality sand in Thailand as well as its suitability for SCP construction materials. The SCP model tests were...
