Unconfined compression

Stabilized soil with cement has been a widely used solution in geotechnical projects and requires the molding of numerous specimens to investigate their properties in destructive tests, restraining the reuse for other analysis. Also, distinct sample dimension has been utilized in the research without taking this effect into account. Recognizing these ne...

This study investigated the use of the Formation Factor of the material as an alternative way to estimate soil-cement strength involving no destructive tests. This factor is obtained from Archie’s Law and consists of the ratio of pore water electrical conductivity to saturated porous material electrical conductivity, being related to porosity ...

This paper optimizes and compares the behavior of soil-cement compacted blends against several molding and climate conditions under optimum compaction and non-optimum compaction parameters. For this, an intensive laboratory study of silty soil samples treated with different percentages of high early strength Portland cement (PC) was investigated by a se...

The objective of this paper is to analyze the mechanical behavior of a clayey sand soil with added green coir fiber at 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1% by dry weight, through a series of laboratory tests that physically and mechanically characterize the samples in order to evaluate possible changes in the soil properties. Unconfined compression and indirect tensile te...
