Shear strength of a natural and compacted tropical soil
(2015)
Tropical soils have peculiar characteristics and behavior due to its geology and soil-forming processes typical of tropical regions. Besides the mineralogical composition and complex structures, long periods of rainy and ...
Shear strength of a natural and compacted tropical soil
(2015-01-01)
Tropical soils have peculiar characteristics and behavior due to its geology and soil-forming processes typical of tropical regions. Besides the mineralogical composition and complex structures, long periods of rainy and ...
The Flat Dilatometer Test in an Unsaturated Tropical Soil Site
(2021-01-01)
The site characterization of unsaturated soils is well stablished based on laboratory tests, which are expensive and time-consuming. In-situ testing methods, such as the flat dilatometer test (DMT), are an alternative to ...
Soil phosphorus extracted by Bray 1 and Mehlich 3 soil tests as affected by the soil/solution ratio in Mollisols
(Taylor, 2011-01)
Different relationships between soil-test methods results have been reported in several agricultural regions. Differences in the same soil-test procedure (e.g., soil/solution ratio) exist between soil-testing laboratories ...
Soil stabilization studying of tropical brazilian soil by unconfined strength compression tests
(2007-01-01)
The tropical soils exhibit a unique mechanical behavior due to their genesis, with a partially saturated condition, and are very dependent on the degree of weathering. The term tropical soil includes both lateritic and ...
Settlement of Footings on Compacted and Natural Collapsible Soils upon Loading and Soaking
(2021-04-01)
Collapsible unsaturated soils experience large volumetric compressive deformations upon wetting. Soil collapse is a geotechnical problem that occurs in different regions of the world and profoundly impacts buildings and ...
Seasonal influence on cone penetration test: An unsaturated soil site example
(Science Press, 2019-04-01)
Interpretation of electric cone penetration test (CPT) based pore water pressure measurement (CPTu) is well established for soils with behavior that follows classical soil mechanics. The literature on the interpretation ...
Clastogenicity of landfarming soil treated with sugar cane vinasse
(2013-02-01)
The addition of nutrients and/or soil bulking agents is used in bioremediation to increase microbial activity in contaminated soils. For this purpose, some studies have assessed the effectiveness of vinasse in the ...
Evaluation procedures for colapsible soils through correlation between edometric tests and spt testsProcedimentos de avaliação de solos colapsíveis por meio de correlação entre ensaios edométricos e ensaios spt
(2021-10-18)
The term collapsibility of soils is not always understood, since engineering projects rarely take into account the effects caused by the phenomenon, which is responsible for several problems in earthmoving services, channels, ...
