Shear strength behaviour of sand-clay mixtures
Ölmez, Mehmet Salih; Ergun, Mehmet Ufuk; Department of Civil Engineering (2008)
A clean sand having about 5 % fines has been mixed with 5 to 40 % commercial kaolin to form different sand-clay soil mixtures. The purpose of making this study is to observe the effects of fraction of fine materials in the soil mixture on the behavior of shear strength. Three series of experiments have been performed throughout the study. Undrained triaxial compression tests (series 1) are performed on specimens taken out from homogeneously mixed soil mixtures at specified kaolin contents consolidated in a ...

Shear strength of cement-grout borehole plug
Akgün, Haluk (2000-01-01)
The theoretical normal stress and shear strength distributions along the plug-rock interfaces of axially loaded expansive cement-grout borehole plugs cast in rock cylinders, determination of interfacial shear strength parameters, and experimental analyses of plug-rock mechanical interactions are presented as a function of uniform curing and testing temperature and of borehole size. The results of the back analysis show that the angle of internal friction along the plug-rock interface remains almost constant...
Shear strength behavior of granular fill-clayey soil interfaces and improvement with dowels
Öztürk, Şevki; Ergun, Mehmet Ufuk; Department of Civil Engineering (2015)
Shear failures of interfaces between granular material and clay are frequently encountered in engineering practice. In earthfill dams, road embankments and spoil piles in mining operations, granular materials are placed on clay, and shear failures and/or large movements are observed along interfaces. When dealing with this type of a problem selecting representative shear strength parameters is difficult. Furthermore in the literature no accepted procedure is available to select these parameters. This study ...
Shear strength of municipal solid waste for stability analyses
Stark, Timothy D.; Huvaj Sarıhan, Nejan; Li, Guocheng (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2009-06-01)
This paper investigates the shear strength of municipal solid waste (MSW) using the back analysis of failed waste slopes as well as field and laboratory test results. Shear strength of MSW is a function of many factors such as waste type, composition, compaction, daily cover, moisture conditions, age, decomposition, overburden pressure, etc. These factors together with non-standardized sampling methods, insufficient sample size to be representative of in situ conditions, and limited shear displacement or ax...
