The use of the Fall cone device to determine Atterberg limits soil mixtures with kaolinite and quartz sand is summarised in this research. existing testing procedures were evaluated presented. redefined classification on new plasticity chart was implemented For higher fines content (sandy silts), liquid plastic limit values obtained methods correlate well data. lower (silty sands), determination performed inconsistent results. test data present research suggests that interparticle contacts...
Physical modeling of landslides using scaled landslide models began in the 1970s Japan at natural slope physical models. Laboratory experiments behavior (also known as flume or test) started 1980s and 1990s Canada, Japan, Australia under 1 g conditions. The main purpose last 25 years was research initiation, motion, accumulation fast flow-like caused by infiltration water a slope. In October 2018, Faculty Civil Engineering University Rijeka, four-year project “Physical remediation...
Understanding the behavior of sands under cyclic loading is crucial for seismic safety, particularly in regions with high water tables or those located near coastal areas. This study investigates dynamic and degradation characteristics uniformly graded Drava River Sand (DrOS018) undrained conditions. A series strain-controlled triaxial tests were conducted at relative densities 33%, 50%, 80% confining pressures 100 kPa, 200 400 kPa. Utilizing sinusoidal frequencies 0.1 Hz 0.05 Hz,...
The dynamic behaviour of sand and mixtures containing low-plasticity fines at low confining stresses is crucial importance for geotechnical engineering, especially in regions prone to seismic activity. Such materials can be found nature or produced the laboratory. For these mixtures, accurate assessment representation initial void ratio, defined by phase relationship intergranular essential understanding their cyclic behaviour. ratio has a direct influence on response sand-fine aggregate...
The Vinodol Valley, situated in the north-western Adriatic Croatia, is characterized by complex geological and morphological conditions. Palaeogene flysch deposits form inner parts of valley, while steep valley flanks are composed Cretaceous carbonate rocks. Flysch bedrock mostly covered diverse Quaternary deposits, among which originating from rock slopes abundant. During previous investigations, based on conventional field mapping conducted central such were addressed to tectonic evolution...
In this paper, the authors present results of field tests on a single laterally loaded pile and two piles in line. Bored reinforced concrete with diameter 0·25 m depth 5 were constructed natural sandy gravels. The lateral loading head tested is applied using hydraulic press maximum force 500 kN. A line incrementally controlled displacement 2 mm until ultimate capacity was attained. deflections measured an inclinometer probe through casings installed axes piles. are analysed approximated...
Monitoring is important for assessing the stability of ground and confirming validity design during construction operation structures.The ideal monitoring system projects in Rock Geotechnical Engineering would be able to monitor behavior small extensive areas continuously automatically with high accuracy.In addition, costs low easy handle.Satellite technology has potential realize above by combining it conventional geotechnical instruments.In this paper, satellite displacement monitoring,...
The Slani Potok gully (0.48 km 2 ) is situated in the central part of Vinodol Valley (64.57km Croatia, and it was formed Eocene flysch deposits.So far, area has been mainly referred scientific literature as being subjected to unusually intense soil erosion processes (i.e., ''excessive erosion''), associated with landslides.However, landslides were never investigated detail, given available research methods only involved field investigations.Therefore, landslide types according most commonly...
Numerous triaxial tests on sand and sand-like materials have been performed worldwide during the past several decades. Their results provided a development of advanced soil constitutive models laboratory testing devices, as well establishment database different types uniform sandy materials. From such research, critical state steady theory has emerged one most useful tool for modelling behaviour. This paper presents static drained Drava River from Osijek region in Croatia. The main aim was...

The Fall cone liquid limit testing procedure for low plasticity soil mixtures with sand, including the sample preparation and implementation of plastic determination suggestions are covered within this research. A apparatus was used in order to determine limits types, which Casagrande cup thread rolling methods proved inapplicable. Several issues addressed concerning standardized mixture filling procedures testing, as well applicability single measurements per moisture content effect curing...
Rail traffic, the process of dynamic compaction or even seismic activities such as earthquakes can lead to multiple loading cycles soil material. When a fully saturated is loaded by these various factors, build-up pore water pressure occur, leading degradation strength and, if sand material uniform, liquefaction. The degree reduction usually represented index δi, and often compared with increase in normalized ru. function plasticity PI, variation number ratio goes from strongly...
