Compaction Characteristics and Mechanical Response of Gravel–Glass–Rubber Mixtures Open
From a geotechnical engineering viewpoint, recycling and reuse of crushed glass and tire rubber can significantly help reduce the demand for natural resources (i.e., sand and gravel aggregates). Following an earlier study by the authors ai…

Effect of pumice content on the undrained cyclic behaviour of pumiceous soil Open
Pumice soil grains are characterized by their vesicular nature, which leads to lightweight, crushable grains with an extremely rough and angular surface texture. These characteristics give pumiceous soils particular engineering properties …

Cyclic and monotonic simple shear testing of native Christchurch silty soil Open
The first cyclic simple shear tests on high-quality retrieved specimens of Christchurch silty and sandy soil were performed to evaluate their liquefaction potential. The test specimens originate from stratified silty soil deposits in south…

Test method for minimum and maximum densities of small quantities of soil Open
The minimum and maximum void ratios are required to establish the relative density of sandy soil. Undisturbed simple shear test specimens are often too small to provide enough material to employ the Japanese Standard JIS A 1224:2009 Test M…
