Study of the heat transfer process in saturated and unsaturated soils requires, basically, a relationship between thermal conductivity characteristics soil, such as water content, dry density texture soil. This study intends to produce generic model that can predict soil with help easily measurable parameters. The proposed is first calibrated using measured conductivities from literature data. In order validate predicted this well existing ones are compared for different soils. Validation...
This paper presents experimental studies performed on a natural swelling soil. Initially, the soil fabric was studied by mercury porosimetry test, revealing clear bimodal pore distribution that corresponds to micro- and macrostructural levels. The water-retention curve of then determined using two suction-imposition techniques: osmotic vapour equilibrium methods. During main testing program, three successive wetting drying cycles were applied in suction range between 0 2 MPa under different...
Granular materials are usually used in low-traffic pavement structure as base layer or sub-base layer. The influence of fine content on permanent axial deformation behaviour is significant well the water content. This study aims to investigate granular material under cyclic loading at various contents and contents. A triaxial apparatus obtain samples prepared with same dry density different between 7% 11% 4%, 7.5% 15.3%. results show behaviour. increases increase while depends sensitivity...
Rainfall-induced landslides (RILS) are commonly investigated using hydro-mechanical models with the concept of local factor safety. The inputs these usually prone to uncertainties. An uncertainty analysis is required investigate how uncertainties propagate through model and impact predictions. appropriate strategy for propagation suggested in this work deal nonlinearity high dimensionality RILS problems. It proceeds by performing a sensitivity two steps. A screening technique first applied...
This paper presents results from an experimental study performed on natural and compacted expansive soils in different loose dense states using principally osmotic oedometers. The showed significant shrinkage, while the produced a swelling accumulation during suction cycles. These cycles induced equilibrium stage, which indicates elastic behaviour of samples under At end cycles, loading/unloading test was all at constant suctions to define LC (loading collapse) yield curve as well newly...
